The historic literature indicates that the economic variation that existed between the members of the Red River community was a significant part of the social organization. The ceramic artifact assemblages from five Red River archaeological sites, Upper Fort Garry, Lower Fort Garry, Riel House, Delorme House and the Garden site are analazed in order to assess the visibility of economic variation in the archaeological record. Using two different analytical techniques introduced by Miller (1980) and by Kenyon and Kenyon (1986) the Upper Fort Garry ceramic assemblage is compared at an intersite and intrasite level. It was found that economic variation is discernable at historic archaeological sites through the comparison of ceramic artifact assemblages. 2009-12-02T16:50:00Z 2009-12-02T16:50:00Z 1988-08-01-01:09T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1993/3543 en_US The reproduction of this thesis has been made available by authority of the copyright owner solely for the purpose of private study and research, and may only be reproduced and copied as permitted by copyright laws or with express written authorization from the copyright owner.
