Abstract
This article discusses "…the relationship between a fundamental aspect of social life -- the cultural construction of gender -- and the spatial organization of hunting" (p. 414). Data for the study were gathered from a southern Chipewyan group, the Patuanak, of the Upper Churchill River area of Saskatchewan, Canada. The authors suggest "…that more attention to gender dynamics may alter prevailing ideas about hunting behavior and foraging economics generally, and, at the same time, offer new dimensions of variability for explaining the archaeological record" (p. 414).
