摘要: Since the original 1997 discovery of ancient hunting implements in melting alpine ice patches southern Yukon, approximately 146 well-preserved, organic artifacts have been recovered. Most artifacts, variously made antler, bone, wood, and stone, represent complete or partial examples throwing-dart ( atlatl ) bow-and-arrow technology. Radiocarbon dates obtained thus far range from 8360 BP to 90 (uncalibrated). Our research indicates that technology persisted at least 1250 BP, when it was abruptly replaced by The collection has afforded archaeologists First Nation researchers a unique opportunity learn about past technologies practices greatly improve our understanding enduring relationships between humans caribou.
