Site shows signs of being a permanent settlement, researchers say, not a temporary hunting camp
Archeologists working near Sturgeon Lake First Nation north of Prince Albert say findings at the site show evidence of long-term settlement in the area.
In a press release on Feb. 3, archeologists said the site shows signs of being a permanent settlement, and not a temporary hunting camp. Findings include stone tools, fire pits, and lithic materials used in toolmaking. The site also includes bison remains, which provide insight into early hunting techniques, and the evolution of the species. There is also evidence the inhabitants practiced fire management.
