Hunters in the range of the Beverly caribou herd of the Northwest Territories have been dependent on & influenced by seasonal migrations for 8,000 years, as confirmed by historic & prehistoric evidence. This study is based on over 20 years of field & laboratory research on the effect of herd following on culture. It analyzes & compares some 13,000 artefacts representing 1,002 hunting camps of four major archaeological traditions found in the Beverly range. Chapter 1 describes the natural environment of this range and chapter 2 reviews early European exploration, previous archaeological research, and the mapping of caribou hunting camps. Chapters 3 to 10 presents research results by archaeological phase or tradition, incorporating the geological, biological, & historical influences on caribou hunters. Each chapter analyzes each artefact by type and includes a short description of general tool trends, noting seasonal differences. The final chapter compares all tools and summarizes cross-cultural seasonal trends.
