Abstract

This paper presents results of recent excavations at the Mullett site in southwestern Manitoba within the framework of how data accumulated contributes to understanding population dynamics in the Grassland/Parklands ecological zone. The site demonstrates occupations dating from early Archaic to late historic times, but the focus here is on Besant through Late Woodland occupations. The paper discusses the ecology of the region and speculates on how ceramic and lithic material provide clues on population dynamics in the Grassland/Parklands interface region.
