Notes

The Anthropological Series of the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History (now the Royal Saskatchewan Museum) showcases human prehistory and early history in the province. In series volume #3, Margaret Hanna – then, Supervisor of the University of Manitoba’s Anthropology Laboratory and, later, curator of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum – expands her Master’s thesis discussing the Moose Bay burial mound, an earthwork in southeastern Saskatchewan (south of Yorkton). Hanna describes the excavation process, catalogues the artifacts and human remains uncovered, and offers hypotheses regarding lessons to be learned about Northeastern Plains peoples’ burial practices and social stratification. Includes bibliography.
