This study examines the role of rock art in the construction of Woodland Period (300 BC to AD 1700) hunter-gatherer landscapes in the Lake of the Woods region of northwestern Ontario. The authors examine the distribution of documented pictograph sites relative to the locations of rock formations where the geologic conditions would have favored the placement of pictographic rock art but are absent. Point pattern analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and least cost path analysis were used to analyze the findings. The authors suggest that pictograph sites were placed at points on the landscape along water routes to facilitate information exchange among highly mobile hunter-gatherers.

First Time

Until recently, the distribution of the Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus) in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario was poorly documented. Since 1988, we have been banding and recapturing little browns throughout Manitoba and adjacent Lake of the Woods region in Ontario. All known hibernacula in the study area are recorded here for the first time, along with time of emergence. Connections between some hibernacula and summer nurseries are verified by band returns, ranging from 37 to 540 km.

Deformed and recrystallized, amphibolite facies, trondhjemitic to granodioritic orthogneiss along the north margin of the Archean Lake of the Woods greenstone belt has an Rb–Sr isochron age of 2950 ± 150 Ma and an initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.7028 ± 0.0014. Preserved primary textures and complex internal intrusive relationships document the original plutonic nature of the orthogneiss. Based on isotopic age and degree of deformation and recrystallization, the orthogneiss is interpreted to be basement to the adjacent metavolcanic sequence of the greenstone belt. The contact between the orthogneiss and greenstone belt is the locus of deformation, but may be an unconformity. It is also the boundary between the English River subprovince on the north and the Wabigoon subprovince on the south.Similar orthogneiss ranging in age from 2800 to 3800 Ma is widespread in the Canadian Shield. It is basement to the 2650–2750 Ma Archean volcanism, at least in some areas, but is not necessarily basement to the older (2800–3000 Ma) volcanism. The orthogneisses are remnants of a once much more extensive sialic terrain, but the contemporaneity and extent of this sialic terrain are uncertain.
