This presentation will highlight the archaeological work conducted at sites EgPo-149 (Moose Hill Ranch) and EgPo-161, a large multi-component precontact campsite situated near the Elbow River, specifically focusing on the partnerships with the University of Calgary and other researchers that have allowed for new analyses of cultural materials and taphonomic processes in the Springbank area. Technologies including 3D scanning, GNSS systems used in tandem with XRF technology, as well as the results of obsidian sourcing and phytolith/starch grain analyses, will be discussed in detail.About the PresenterJoshua Read, M.A. Stantec Consulting Ltd., Senior ArchaeologistJosh has worked as a Cultural Resource Management (CRM) archaeologist for almost 15 years across Western Canada with the bulk of his career spent in Alberta.
