Its core is in the form of a case study, that of the pre­historic interaction of the human hunting bands, climatic effects and caribou herd distributions in the Canadian barrenlands during the Arctic Small Tool tradition occupation after 1500 B.C. Following initial des­criptions of barrenland geography, biology, geology, climatology and ethnology, site locations resulting from the hunter and prey relationship are ex-plored. Basic to this relationship and site locations are two primary suppositions. They are: (1) caribou herds are discrete, their separateness b.?se.d upon environment and behavior; and (2) the hunting soci.eties who prey upori. the caribou tend to be discrete due to their alignment with discrete herds. Three corollaries follow the suppositions: (1) band movements and human communication are usually confined to herd migration corridors and forage areas; (2) differing cultural patterns develop in the hunting societies within herd areas; and (3) artifacts are more homogeneous within herding areas and more heterogeneous between herding areas, primarily due to restricted lateral movement and communi­cation. Because of their distribution, quantity, chronology and excel­lent diagnostic qualities, artifacts of the Arctic Small Tool tradition were used in testing the corollaries. The corollaries and suppositions comprise the discrete band/discrete herd relationship.xxiii, 537 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
