Temporal, archaeological and pedological separation of the Barrenland Arctic Small Tool and Taltheilei Traditions
Problems in the prehistory of the North American subarctic : the Athapaskan question • Calgary • Published In 1977 • Pages: 77-82
By: Gordon, Bryan C..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Gordon discusses the artifact and chronological differences between Arctic Small Tool tradition sites and Earliest and Early Taltheilei tradition sites on the barrenlands of Canada. He proposes the Taltheilei tradition started in British Columbia and moved out onto the barrenlands after the Arctic Small Tool tradition in that area had ceased. A climatic shift may have been the reason behind the change.
