Kwäday Dän Ts’inchi, the individual found in a glacier in British Columbia is likely female.

Most archaeological sites are above ground and can easily be located.

In Canada, archaeologists prefer to use the term ‘pre-contact’ instead of prehistoric when referring to peoples of the past.

Radiocarbon dating is primarily used by paleoanthropologists; archaeologists typically find potassium-argon dating more useful.

Amino acid racemization dating is a method performed on bone.

The erosion of the banks of the Grand River in Ontario led to the discovery of the oldest pastoral site in Ontario.

Fossils are found in sites while archaeological remains are found in localities.

In Canada, construction projects that require government approval will not be authorized unless measures are taken to identify and protect archaeological remains that may be there.

Woodwork, textiles, and basketry are destroyed in warm, tropical climates, so it is impossible to learn from them.

Bogs such as those found in Labrador are a good place to find preserved clothing.

The main reason why paleoanthropologists need to know geology is because:

A material object that shows signs of having been made or altered by humans is called a/an

Most fossils have been altered; their organic molecules have been replaced by

Which of the following is an example of relative dating?

In an archaeological site in which there are several clearly distinguishable layers of earth, you find a piece of finely glazed china in the fifth (lowest) layer and a piece of unglazed pottery in the first (highest) layer. You assume that the unglazed pottery was made more recently than the finely glazed pottery. In making such an assumption you are using the method of
