Book Description
This study attempts to elucidate the temporal and spatial interrelationships between the barrenland Pre-Dorset peoples, climates and caribou herds in the period 1500-700 B.C. Items such as discreteness of herds and human bands, band movements and communication and differing cultural patterns as evidenced in artifacts, are discussed. All are used in the formulation of the discrete band/discrete herd relationship.

Of Men and Herds in Canadian Plains Prehistory
Author: Bryan H. C. Gordon
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820792
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
This is a preliminary study of temporal and spatial relationships between Canadian Plains peoples, climates and bison populations over the past 10,000 years. Discreteness of two bison populations, hunting and band movements and communication are discussed together with the probable role of grassland faciation as a control on bison migration.

Archaeological Reconnaissance at Great Bear Lake
Author: Donald Woodforde Clark
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772821292
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
This volume summarizes two seasons of archaeological survey and a brief reconnaissance at Great Bear Lake in 1972, 1976 and 1979. The survey was restricted primarily to the northern and northwestern shores of the lake, a region that was occupied at the time of historic contact by the Hare group of Athapaskans (Dene). Approximately 140 lithic (prehistoric) sites were located and are described together with the same number of historic camps, structures and caribou fences.

Anahim Lake Archaeology and the Early Historic Chilcotin Indians — Vertebrate Faunal Remains from the Potlatch Site (FcSi-2) in South Central British Columbia
Author: Roscoe Hall Wilmeth
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820776
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Excavation of a number of pit house sites at Anahim Lake in the central plateau of British Columbia has resulted in the definition of five components, the last two attributed to the Chilcotin. There are significant resemblances between these two components and Athabaskan complexes recorded elsewhere in North America. In this second part of this publication, analysis of the vertebrate remains from Potlatch site reveal much about the subsistence of the Chilcotin. Significant changes occurred in the percentage of vertebrate remains through time. Evidence of butchering and artifactual modification are discussed. Range changes of several species are of zoological interest.

Taphonomy and Archaeology in the Upper Pleistocene of the Northern Yukon Territory
Author: Richard E. Morlan
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 177282089X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
The concept of taphonomy has been borrowed from paleontology and applied to the analysis of vertebrate fossils from the Old Crow region of the northern Yukon Territory. By means of this approach, archaeologically significant specimens have been isolated from the larger suite of materials which can be explained entirely in terms of natural processes. The analysis indicates that human occupation began in eastern Beringia more than 50,000 years ago and probably was continuous from that time onward, but primary archaeological deposits will be needed to clarify the historical and paleo-environmental significance of these finds.

Pages : 211
Book Description
Archaeological remains from two late prehistoric/early historic sites in east central Alaska ─ Dakah de’nin’s, an Ahtna Athapaskan village site and Dixthada, an Upper Tanana Athapaskan site ─ are presented and, with findings from a Kutchin Athapaskan site (Klo-kut) in the northern Yukon Territory, form the basis for an examination of whether or not the archaeological data warrants the definition of three distinct groups of Pacific Drainage Athapaskans during prehistoric and early historic time.
