Older drivers are the fastest growing segment of the Canadian driving population and, as a consequence, the numbers who face the experience of stopping driving will continue to rise. A review of the literature reveals that ...
Early evidence of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) on the northern plains : an examination of Avonlea cultural materials (AD 300-1100)
(2013-02-03)
The goal of this thesis is to reconstruct the plant component of paleodiet for the Avonlea complex (AD 300 – 1100 BP), an early ceramic-producing culture on the Northern Plains. Avonlea peoples have been assumed by ...
