weeks, through August and the first half of September, so was partially
on holiday time and partially in the educational leave period.

Some of the major locations visited include:

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta
(This important site, used by Plains Indians for almost 6000 years
to drive bison to their deaths, was recently declared a World Heritage
Site under the United Nations. A new museum/interpretive centre
built into the cliffside is scheduled to open this summer).

Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, Alberta
(The sandstone cliffs along the Milk River have the finest collection
of native rock carvings in the prairie provinces).

Rainy River burial mounds, Ontario
(These are the largest and most extensive aboriginal burial mounds
in Canada).

Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, Ontario
(This is the reconstructed Jesuit Mission to the Huron, occupied
from 1639 to 1649).

Six Nations Indian Reserve
(This is the reserve of the largest Indian band in Canada, the
descendants of the Iroquois loyalists who followed Joseph Brant
into Canada after the American War of Independence).

Canadian Museum of Civilization, Ottawa
(formerly the National Museum of Man)

Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto
Museum of Indian Archaeology/Lawson Prehistoric Village, London.

In addition, many lesser archaeological and historic sites and local
museums were visited.

Part of my research involved looking through archives for historical
photographs which could be used to illustrate the book. It took almost

a week to go through the extensive holdings of the Canadian Museum of
Civilization. I also spent time selecting photographs at the Public

Archives of Canada, the Archaeological Survey of Canada, and the Archaeological
Survey of Alberta.

I also made arrangements to meet individuals at various institutions

across the country in order to get up-to-date information. Specific
insitutions visited for this purpose include the Archaeological Survey

of Canada (Ottawa), the Department of Indian Affairs (Ottawa), the Department
of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon),
and the Archaeological Survey of Alberta (Edmonton).

I also managed to solicit a small collection of casts of prehistoric
artifacts from British Columbia at the Archaeological Survey of Canada.

These have been received and have been catalogued into the College collection
in the Anthropology lab.
