FUMDHAMentos VII- Jiri Chlachula 225 Late pleistocene peopling of western interior
Systematic geoarchaeological investigations have provided multiple evidence for the Late Pleistocene peopling on the Western Canada Interior Plains and the adjacent Rocky Mountain Foothills prior to the last glacial maximum (>21 ka BP). The cultural records found deeply buried in the late Quatern...

Systematic geoarchaeological investigations have provided multiple evidence for the Late Pleistocene peopling on the Western Canada Interior Plains and the adjacent Rocky Mountain Foothills prior to the last glacial maximum (>21 ka BP).

Two principal excavated sites located in situ below the Glacial Lake Calgary formation in the Bow River valley, SW Alberta, indicate disruption of the occupation by the Late Wisconsinan advance of a valley glacier from the Rocky Mountains (ca. 23-21 ka BP).
