This thesis compares artifacts from Upper Fort Garry (DlLg-21) (two samples) and western Hivernant and other historical sites dating from the 1840s-1880s, with Red River Métis cultural material from the Garden, Delorme House, and Riel House sites. Statistical analysis defined a Métis pattern but could not distinguish the Métis pattern from other samples, including those from Upper Fort Garry.
