Students and staff with the University of Calgary s anthropology and archaeology department are halfway through an archaeological dig at the top of Nose Hill Park, finding evidence of stone circles and tools used by Indigenous people prior to contact with European settlers.
Until recently, only parts of a stone circle in Nose Hill Park were visible to passersby, many of whom unknowingly walked straight through a site that is now the subject of an archaeological excavation aimed at uncovering more about the life of the Blackfoot people.
