Tools of the Trade: Methods, Techniques and Innovative Approaches
in Archaeology presents a collection of academic papers from the
2005 Chacmool archaeological conference, which includes a wide
range of contributions from international archaeologists, senior
professors, and students alike. Each chapter focuses on the
discussion and application of unique and innovative 'tools' for
archaeological analysis and interpretation, including micro- and
macro-botanical analysis, experimental study, off-site survey,
lithic use-wear, ceramic petrography, DNA analysis, chaA (R)ne opA
(c)ratoire, space syntax, and Geographic Information Systems. As a
collective volume, Tools of the Trade: Methods, Techniques and
Innovative Approaches in Archaeology also covers an impressive
diversity of geographic regions and time periods, such as
Precolumbian Mesoamerica, Plio-Pleistocene Africa, prehistoric and
historic North America, and ancient Polynesia. Finally, this volume
provides a somewhat introspective look at the origins of tool use,
technological development, and the means by which we have become
the only species to ask the questions: What does it mean to be us
and how can we find out? With contributions by: Kristen Anderson

When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the
first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to
managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now
Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the
place of nature in Canadian nationhood and relationships between
Canada's diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks
Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000
square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes,
and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental
challenges of protected places. Its history is a rich repository of
experience, of lessons learned-critical for making informed
decisions about how to sustain the environmental and social health
of our national parks.
