Join us for this Laboratory of Archaeology Talk with Dr. Benjamin Collins (UBC Anthropology Honorary Research Associate)
Trends in Manitoba Archaeology
When and Where
Friday, Dec. 6 @ 11:00AM
Borden Research Room, Museum of Anthropology
Abstract
Manitoba has a rich and deep history dating back over 8,000 years. However, very little archaeological research has been undertaken to understand and share this history. Our SSHRC-funded research aims to contribute to better understanding Manitoba’s history through studying the radiocarbon dating data in CARD for Manitoba, and exploring opportunities for using Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) to increase the resolution of Manitoba’s archaeological record. This talk discusses preliminary results from this research, as well as more generally the practice of archaeology in Manitoba, including the importance of communities-focused approaches.
