SUMMARY:Fish Creek Speaker Series - The Last Five Years: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Archaeology in the Springbank Area
DESCRIPTION:The Last Five Years: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Archaeology in the Springbank Area \n\n\n\nFive years of archaeological assessments in the Springbank area have resulted in the identification and recording of several important archaeological sites that have benefited from multi-disciplinary partnerships allowing for new and innovative approaches to data analysis and site interpretations. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will highlight the archaeological work conducted at sites EgPo-149 (Moose Hill Ranch) and EgPo-161\, a large multi-component precontact campsite situated near the Elbow River\, specifically focusing on the partnerships with the University of Calgary and other researchers that have allowed for new analyses of cultural materials and taphonomic processes in the Springbank area. Technologies including 3D scanning\, GNSS systems used in tandem with XRF technology\, as well as the results of obsidian sourcing and phytolith/starch grain analyses\, will be discussed in detail. \n  \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nJoshua Read\, M.A. Stantec Consulting Ltd.\, Senior Archaeologist \n\n\n\nJosh has worked as a Cultural Resource Management (CRM) archaeologist for almost 15 years across Western Canada with the bulk of his career spent in Alberta. He specializes in zooarchaeology with a keen interest in historical fur trade archaeology but has a passion for all aspects of the discipline. Josh has participated in and managed many large- and small-scale CRM projects over the years with a more recent focus on large excavations at multi-component sites. Josh believes in the importance of public outreach and looks forward to opportunities to present meaningful CRM-focused data whenever possible.
