Besant revisted : the Fincastle site (DIOx-5) and archaeological cultures on the northwestern plains, 2500 B.P.-1250 B.P.Varsakis, Irene, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2006 (has links)
An assemblage of distinctive projectile points from the Fincastle site (DlOx-5),
Alberta at c. 2500 B.P. instigated an analysis of archaeological cultures on the Northern
Plains during the late Middle Prehistoric Period. Archaeological sites included in this
study are from the Pelican Lake Phase, the Besant Phase, the Sandy Creek Complex, a
previously Unnamed Complex, and the Plains Woodland at approximately 2500 – 1250
B.P. A projectile point analysis was conducted on assemblages from Fincastle, EbPi-63,
EgPn-111, Kenney (DjPk-1), Leavitt (24LT22), Muhlbach (FbPf-1), and Smith-Swainson
(FeOw-1) sites. As part of this study, nearly 40 metric and non-metric attributes were
examined in approximately 500 projectile points from these seven sites. Research
findings indicate that two coeval groups existed in Alberta, identified as the Kenney and Sonota subphases of the Besant Phase. Two additional subphases are hypothesized for the
Besant Phase in Wyoming and Montana. / xix, 379 leaves ; 29 cm.

A comprehensive analysis of the butchering activities performed at the Fincastle Bison Kill Site (D1Ox-5)Watts, Angela (Ang), University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2008 (has links)
The Fincastle site (DlOx-5) is located in Southern Alberta, Canada. Excavations
from 2004-2007 unearthed a significant number of lithic artefacts, fire-broken rock and a
dense bone bed. Radiocarbon dates (ca. 2500 BP) place the single occupancy kill site in
the Late Middle Prehistoric Period.
This thesis investigates the butchering activities that took place in the East Block
of the site, where 60,000 bone fragments were collected. Of these faunal remains, 5,540
records were processed and examined using Brumley’s (1991) Bone Unit (BU) analysis
scheme. They were then assigned to a Bone Unit Butchering Category, a classification
system created to identify specific butchering activities. Detailed analyses of the
articulations, location and quantity of impact and/or cut marks, and specific fracture types
and lengths were also carried out.
The evidence shows that both primary and secondary butchering operations
occurred at Fincastle, including joint dismemberment, meat removal, marrow extraction
and grease rendering processes. / xviii, 298 leaves : col. ill. ; 29 cm. --
