Linguistic evidence for Athapaskan prehistory
problems in the prehistory of the north american subarctic : the athapaskan question • Calgary • Published In 1977 • Pages: 102-105
By: Fowler, William F..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Fowler looks at the linguistic evidence as it pertains to when the different Athapaskan speakers diverged from one another and when they entered an area. Dating of these events is relative and not absolute. Fowler does not think ancient microblades are an Athapaskan culture trait.
