- Title
The Martin-Bird Site Revisited.
- Authors
Boyd, Matthew; Hamilton, Scott
- Abstract
Martin-Bird (DbJm-5) is a Late Woodland period site on Whitefish Lake (northwestern Ontario) that was first excavated by K. C.A. Dawson in 1970. Due to the combination of rich archaeological deposits and a prominent burial mound, the site played an important role in the development of the Woodland culture history framework of northwestern Ontario. Some 40 years following Dawson’s excavations, we re-investigated the site using a combination of remote sensing, survey and excavation, andfood residue analysis. This work has resulted in a much clearer understanding of Woodland subsistence choices, and underlines the importance of applying new analytical techniques to archaeological sites in the Boreal Forest.
