The Paleo-Arctic tradition extends from 11,000 BP to 6000 BP in the unglaciated areas of the Arctic regions of North America, with most of the known sites in northwest Alaska. The sites found to date are short-term hunting camps with evidence of caribou kills and mostly lithic artifacts such as microblades. As preservation is poor, evidence for other species of animals hunted has not been found. Paleo-Arctic people probably lived in small, egalitarian communities of nomadic terrestrial hunters.
