Book Description
Modal climatic patterns for three periods were constructed: late-glacial about 13,000-10,000 years B.P., from 9,000-8,000 years B.P., and early sub-Boreal time about 5,000-3,000 years B.P.

Prehistory of the Aishihik-Kluane Area, Southwest Yukon Territory
Author: William B. Workman
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820717
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
A detailed survey of the archaeology of southwest Yukon Territory, based upon excavations in 1966 and 1968 as well as laboratory analysis of all sizeable collections obtained earlier. Archaeological, ethnographic and paleoenvironmental data are integrated into a synthetic view of prehistory in northwestern North America.

Biophysical Ecology
Author: D. M. Gates
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461260248
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 631
Book Description
The objective of this book is to make analytical methods available to students of ecology. The text deals with concepts of energy exchange, gas exchange, and chemical kinetics involving the interactions of plants and animals with their environments. The first four chapters are designed to show the applications of biophysical ecology in a preliminary, sim plified manner. Chapters 5-10, treating the topics of radiation, convec tion, conduction, and evaporation, are concerned with the physical environment. The spectral properties of radiation and matter are thoroughly described, as well as the geometrical, instantaneous, daily, and annual amounts of both shortwave and longwave radiation. Later chapters give the more elaborate analytical methods necessary for the study of photosynthesis in plants and energy budgets in animals. The final chapter describes the temperature responses of plants and animals. The discipline of biophysical ecology is rapidly growing, and some important topics and references are not included due to limitations of space, cost, and time. The methodology of some aspects of ecology is illustrated by the subject matter of this book. It is hoped that future students of the subject will carry it far beyond its present status. Ideas for advancing the subject matter of biophysical ecology exceed individual capacities for effort, and even today, many investigators in ecology are studying subjects for which they are inadequately prepared. The potential of modern science, in the minds and hands of skilled investigators, to of the interactions of organisms with their advance our understanding environment is enormous.

Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
This study defines an early Late Woodland manifestation in southwestern Ontario, the Princess Point Complex. This complex is seen as an early developmental stage of the Ontario Iroquois Tradition. Evidence is presented for changing subsistence and settlement patterns in response to the introduction of maize horticulture.
