Abstract
The following thesis has two study objectives. The first
is to determine whether Red River Métis cultural remains are
distinguishable from the remains of other cultural groups. This
objective is undertaken using the quantification and pattern
recognition method of Stanley South. This method has been widely
adopted in most current historic archaeology studies and
therefore the second objective of this thesis is to evaluate the
quantification method. The research hypothesis is that the Métis
artifact pattern is distinctive from all other patterns.
The Métis data base consisted of three sites; the Garden,
Riel House and Delorme House sites, which represent the only
excavated Métis sites in the Red River Settlement.
