A Unique Fluted Point from the Grande Prairie Region, Alberta __ "In September of 1995, Dana Braseth of Sexsmith, Alberta, brought a stone tool to an artifact identification event at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Her father, John Braseth, had found the specimen in the Grande Prairie area of northwestern Alberta. This artifact proved to be an almost complete fluted point of Paleoindian age, and provides us with yet another tantalizing piece of the puzzle regarding the issue of the initial peopling of Alberta. This article describes and illustrates this unusual artifact and discusses its significance in Alberta prehistory." - illustrated - From The Provincial Museum of Alberta - http://www.pma.edmonton.ab.ca/human/archaeo/aspects/point.htm

What is Rock Art and Where Can I See It? __ "Alberta's aboriginal inhabitants have left behind a rich cultural history. We need only preserve and decipher it. They had no written language, so in one sense a part of their past has been lost. If we stretch our imaginations, however, and take writing to include paintings and carvings, there is an exciting heritage to discover in the rock art sites of the province." - illustrated - From The Provincial Museum of Alberta - http://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/human/archaeo/faq/rockart.htm
