This study is an analysis and functional interpretation of the cultural remains from a Middle Period bison hunters’ campsite situated in the parklands of central Saskatchewan. The Harder site, excavated by the author during 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972, and radiocarbon dated at 3,400 years, belongs to the Oxbow archaeological complex.

Doctoral thesis, University of Alberta, 1976. An analysis and functional interpretation of the tools and debris found in a Middle Period bison hunters' campsite in the parklands of central Saskatchewan.

Excavation at the Stampede Camp and the Saamis site, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta, resulted in the isolation of five site areas from which an abundance of artifacts were recovered, providing data for detailed typological analysis, cultural reconstruction and comparative studies. Together the two sites were occupied during the Middle Prehistoric, Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric periods.

A detailed description of the specimens recovered from the Glenbrook prehistoric village site in Glengarry County, Ontario attributed to the St. Lawrence Iroquois. The presence of certain Huron ceramics and smoking pipes suggest liaison between the villagers and the Huron on the Benson or Parsons site time levels. This connection supports the conclusion derived from the analysis of the artifacts which places the occupation of the Glenbrook village very late in the prehistoric period.

Ancient Aliens Exposed! A Skeptical Look At The TV Phenomenon Or otherwise titled A Critical Look at Ancient Aliens and other Galactic Bunk Ancient Aliens is an American television program that premiered on the so-called History Channel on April 20, 2010. The show supports the ancient astronaut theory, which believes that many historical texts, archeological sites and legends contain evidence of past alien contact. Ancient Aliens Exposed takes a skeptical look at some of the main claims made by this show and finds them wanting. If you or anyone you know has ever been taken in by the sheer hokum of this series, consider this little book the antidote.

Covering a large swath of the American West, the Great Basin, centered in Nevada and including parts of California, Utah, and Oregon, is named for the unusual fact that none of its rivers or streams flow into the sea. This fascinating illustrated journey through deep time is the definitive environmental and human history of this beautiful and little traveled region, home to Death Valley, the Great Salt Lake, Lake Tahoe, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Donald K. Grayson synthesizes what we now know about the past 25,000 years in the Great Basin—its climate, lakes, glaciers, plants, animals, and peoples—based on information gleaned from the region’s exquisite natural archives in such repositories as lake cores, packrat middens, tree rings, and archaeological sites. A perfect guide for students, scholars, travelers, and general readers alike, the book weaves together history, archaeology, botany, geology, biogeography, and other disciplines into one compelling panorama across a truly unique American landscape.

Adsorption of Metals by Geomedia, serves as a needed resource for this topic which has received much attention during the past 15 years. The book provides an in-depth review of the field, followed by numerouschapters that document the current status of adsorption research for a variety of metals by geomedia ranging from individual minerals to sediments and soils. Adsorption mechanisms are detailed and precipitation is presented as a distinct sorption process.Virtually all factors affecting the extent of metal adsorption are examined, including the effects of selected anions, competition among metals, pH, metal concentration, loading, variable metal adsorption capacity, ionic strength, hydrogen exchange and stoichiometry, and solids concentration. A variety of adsorption models are briefly presented and some are used to extend laboratory studies to field sites. The book is comprised of a collection of papers contributed by leading investigators from Canada, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the US. - Includes a wide-ranging review of the status of adsorption research and a prospectus on future research - Details all known factors affecting the extent of adsorption - Covers basic adsorption equations and interrelationships - Clearly documents experimental procedures - Presents adsorption data for eleven metals and three other elements - Uses normalization to greatly reduce apparent variability among absorbents - Provides extensive literature citations and a comprehensive index

This book focuses on highlights (species mentioned, locality, geological age, stratigraphic positions, etc.) of nearly 1000 items published between 1821 and 2000, dealing with the remains of vertebrates that lived from about 2 million to 5000 years ago.
