SESSION 14 CHALLENGES AND CHANGES – PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT: THE SCAPE PROJECT/ DÉFIS ET CHANGEMENTS – PEUPLES ET ENVIRONNEMENT : LE PROJET SCAPE

Room: Manitoba C

Chair: B. A. Nicholson (Brandon University)

The SCAPE Project is an inter-disciplinary Major Collaborative Research Initiative (MCRI - SSHRC) studying the Canadian Prairie Ecozone. In this session we present preliminary results of a wide range of research topics dealing with contextual variables through time that would have called for cultural responses from people inhabiting this area over the millennia. These topics include paleoenvironmental reconstruction, landscape evolution, the nature of resource diversity, soil development, and taphonomic variables. Several papers are devoted to cultural responses to these variables – the challenges and changing opportunities that characterized this dynamic environment and, in some cases, the long term, localized stability found in particular landscapes. Intercultural dynamics are explored through ceramic analysis as well. Preliminary results of our ongoing research of ethnohistoric materials and the collection of Aboriginal oral histories are also incorporated into the interpretations of the archaeological data.

 

Le projet SCAPE est une initiative interdisciplinaire menée dans le cadre du Programme des grands travaux de recherche concertée (GTRC - CRSH) pour l’étude de l’écozone des Prairies au Canada. Lors de cette séance nous présenterons les résultats préliminaires d’une gamme étendue de recherches portant sur des variables contextuelles qui auraient engendré dans le temps une réaction culturelle de la part des peuples ayant habité cette région au fil des millénaires. Les sujets abordés vont de la reconstitution paléo-environnementale à l’évolution des paysages en passant par la nature de la diversité des ressources, l’évolution des sols et les variables taphonomiques. Plusieurs études sont consacrées aux réactions culturelles à ces variables – aux défis et aux occasions de changement caractérisant ce milieu dynamique ainsi qu’à la stabilité à long terme localisée observée par endroits dans certains cas dans des paysages particuliers. La dynamique interculturelle est en outre explorée par l’analyse des céramiques. Les résultats préliminaires des recherches de matériaux ethnohistoriques en cours et la collecte d’histoires autochtones orales sont en outre intégrés aux interprétations des données archéologiques.

Saturday afternoon Sessions

 

SESSION 15 ANCIENT NATIVE TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP/ ATELIER SUR LES ANCIENNES TECHNOLOGIES AMERINDIENNES

Time 13:20 – 17:00

Room: Manitoba A

Participants: Kevin Brownlee, Catherine Flynn, Grant Goltz, Gord Hill, Jim Jones and Gary Wowchuk

Replicative archaeology helps us to appreciate the technological accomplishments of early crafts people. It usually causes us to revise erroneous assumptions that we have made. Meet, observe, and discuss ideas with people working in flintknapping, pottery, and bone and antler tool production. This session is open to the general public as part of our efforts to encourage public awareness and appreciation.

 

La reproduction d’objets archéologiques nous permet d’apprécier les réussites technologiques des premiers artisans. Elle nous oblige habituellement à corriger les hypothèses erronées que nous avons posées. Rencontrez, observez et discutez avec les gens qui taillent le silex, façonnent des céramiques amérindiennes et produisent des outils à partir d’os ou d’andouillers. Cette séance ouverte au grand public fait partie de nos efforts visant à accroître la sensibilisation de la population et son appréciation de notre travail.
