Zooarchaeology of Lake Midden, Saskatchewan: A Comprehensive Study

The Lake Midden site has produced one of the largest archaeological collections from Saskatchewan but remains largely undocumented. This project will study the thousands of animal remains from Lake Midden. This work, conducted in partnership with the Touchwood Agency Tribal Council, aims to better understand people’s relationships with animals at Lake Midden, including which animals were most important in the diet. This project is part of a larger effort to understand this important site and its role in Indigenous history.
