dc.description.abstractAn analysis of prehistoric land use was conducted using archaeological data from the Piikani Reserve# 147 in Southern Alberta using Geographic Information Systems (ArcGIS 9.1) and statistical software (SPSS 15). Previous models of land use based on the archaeology of the Northern Plains and Landscape Archaeology were examined to identify criteria for use within this analysis. The criteria were transformed into quantifiable variables for use in a Discriminant Analysis. In addition, a pattern analysis was conducted to investigate the observed clustering of the archaeological data from the study area. Together, these two processes of investigation were used to qualify which land use criteria were significant and therefore important to prehistoric site selection. The goal of this thesis is not merely to examine and define appropriate land use criteria, but to explain the observed prehistoric land use found within the study area.
