Abstract
McCormack creates a model of probable aboriginal resource use and speculates on how this resource use would have effected the human annual cycle of movement and settlement patterns. This is done by examining the environments, especially their flora and fauna, of the lichen-woodland subzone and the shrubby tundra subzone in detail and determining which resources it would have been most adaptive for humans to use. The goal of the paper is to help the archaeologist to form models against which their site interpretations can be tested.
