Descrizione

Signed and generically inscribed by Rod Vickers upon title page. xii, 139 + vii, 73 pages. Footnotes. Black and white maps and illustrations. A brief history of archaeology in Alberta is presented and the Plains region of the province is described. Classificatory systems for organizing Plains prehistory are reviewed. The possibility of a mid-Wisconsin occupation, and the implication of the Late Wisconsin ice-free corridor are considered. The problem of megafauna extinction and over-hunting is briefly examined. The second paper addresses the question of the positions of various Plains Indian tribes across the southern Alberta landscape at about the time of first European influence and, later, actual European contact. The primary data sources consulted ar the published historic and ethnographic accounts of the four tribes given serious consideration - the Blackfoot, the Kutenai, the Gros Ventre and the Snake or Shoshoni. Clean and unmarked with light wear. A nice copy. Book
