Abstract

Late Paleoindian and Early Archaic subsistence behavior in the Western Great Lakes is an important research issue that has been hindered by a lack of zooarchaeological remains, as well as disagreements over the nature of the paleoenvironmental record and human foraging behavior. Prior reconstructions of early subsistence behavior have centered on a focused, big-game hunting strategy, despite very little solid evidence. Recently, two archaeological sites in northern Wisconsin containing Late Paleoindian faunal material have been excavated, the Deadman Slough site (47PR46) and the Sucices site (47DG11). The data from these sites, and similar recently discovered sites in northeastern North America, suggest that Late Paleoindian and Early Archaic peoples employed a generalized foraging strategy, utilizing a broad range of animal species from a wide array of environmental settings. This new archaeological evidence is utilized in conjunction with detailed paleoenvironmental data and information from cultural ecological studies to develop a model of Late Paleoindian-Early Archaic subsistence behavior for the Western Great Lakes.

Résumé

Résumé

La falta o ausencia de restos zooarqueológicos, los desacuerdos sobre dos temas, la naturaleza e interpretación del registro paleoamáiental o paleoclimdtico, y la naturaleza del comportamiento humano de caceráa y recolección, han servido como obstáculos para la investigación de comportamientos de subsistencia en la región de los Grandes Lagos durante el período conocido como el Paleoindio Tardío. Previas reconstrucciones del comportamiento de subsistencia en esta írea se han enfocado hacia la caza mayor, a pesar de la poca evidencia que existe para ello. Durante la reciente excavación de dos sitios en el norte del estado de Wisconsin (E.U.A.) se han recobrado restos de fauna confechas en el Paleoindio. Estos sitios son Deadman Slough (47PR46) y Sucices (47DG11). Los datos proveniente de estos sitios, así como de sitios similares, recientemente descubiertos en el noreste de América del Norte, sugieren que las problaciones de Paleoindio tardío usaron estrategias de caza mayor y recolección generalizadas, utilizando un amplio rango de especies de animales de extensos y variados medios ambientales. En este estudio hemos combinado tres fuentes de información: (1) la evidencia arqueológica reciente, (2) datos detallados sobre el paleoambiente, y (3) la ecología cultural de la región para desarrollar un modelo del comportamiento de subsistencia para la región occidental del área de los Grandes Lagos.
