Archaeological survey of Great Bear Lake, 1976
problems in the prehistory of the north american subarctic : the athapaskan question • Calgary • Published In 1977 • Pages: 55-64
By: Clark, Donald Woodforde.
Abstract
Clark describes his archaeological surveys around Great Bear Lake in 1972 and 1976. Fifty-five sites were found and the findings are summarized. Clark believes Athapaskan prehistory, the Taltheilei tradition, probably extends back to 800 to 500 B.C., which is considered to be around the end of the Arctic Small Tool tradition. Clark explores some of reasons why so few sites were found, which he mostly attributes to poor preservation.
