Archaeology of Fisherman Lake: western District of MacKenzie, N.W.T.
Bibliography: p. 458-496. The archaeological and geological data collected during 2 field seasons in the Fisherman Lake Valley of the western MacKenzie Basin produced a sequence of 12 cultural complexes representing a series of occupations extending from the late Pleistocene to the present.
