Nose Hill Archaeological Resource
Calgary
Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Nose Hill Archaeological Resources are a collection of archaeological sites within the geographic region of Nose Hill park, a large natural area located in Calgary.
Heritage Value
The Nose Hill Archaeological Resources are significant primarily for the link to the First Nations People and how they went about their daily lives - the activities, celebrations, events, etc. It is evident this site has a rich cultural heritage relating to the pre-contact use of the hill over the last 9,000 years - including use as camp locations and as an excellent vantage point from which to visually survey the surrounding landscape. While many archaeological resources across the hill are well documented, other portions of the hill remain unexplored and little subsurface testing has ever been undertaken at these locations.
