註釋

The general purpose of this study is to demonstrate the existence & nature of an Archaic tradition called the Shield Archaic, a tradition that occupied one third of Canada for most of its prehistory and was responsible for later, non-Archaic developments. The introduction reviews the Shield Archaic concept as part of archaeological research in the boreal forest of the Canadian Shield. Chapter 2 describes 11 Shield Archaic sites from Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, & the Northwest Territories and the artifacts found and chapter 3 makes comparisons between the Shield Archaic, other sites relating to the Shield Archaic, and three contemporaneous & adjacent assemblages: the Laurentian Archaic to the south-east, the Plains Archaic to the south-west, and the Pre-Dorset to the north. This chapter also discusses the possible origins of the Shield Archaic and its relation to the Palaeo-Indian period. The final chapter re-examines five hypotheses introduced in the study concerning the evolution, history, culture, and relationships of the Shield Archaic.
