The excavation at Nose Hill Park in North Calgary is expected to last three weeks.
Beside a gravel footpath that winds along the top of a hill on the east side of Nose Hill Park in Calgary, lies a circle of stones.
Lindsay Amundsen-Meyer, an assistant professor at the University of Calgary who's heading up the excavation, says the circle is one of about a dozen in the area. By comparison, a stone circle, while not always offering the same quantity of artifacts, can provide insight into what individuals were doing on a regular basis.
Crowchief said he was a bit discouraged when he didn't find anything on his first layer, which was five centimetres down. But then, he got to the 10-centimetre mark.While the date of the site is unknown at this point, it is likely from the pre-contact period, said Amundsen-Meyer. She suspects it would have been part of a seasonal camp for the Blackfoot people in the warmer months, given the area's exposure.
