Abstract
"As part of the Northwest Territories' 1970 Centennial Year observances, the University of Alberta Boreal Institute for Northern Studies sponsored a five week archaeological investigation of Historic Fort Enterprise, N.W.T. The Fort Enterprise Project, as it became known, set out with two primary objectives. The first was to locate and establish the remains on Winter Lake of Captain John Franklin's 1820-21 winter out-post for his first Northern Lands Expedition. Being successful in the first, the second objective was to archaeologically excavate the remains in an effort to augment the historic record compiled by Franklin during his epic overland trek to the Arctic Sea. Both of these objectives were successfully met as the result of an intensive five week interdisciplinary investigation."--page 10.
