Interpretation of the glacial and sedimentary characteristics of the region and a series of radiocarbon dates provide a chronological framework for the sequence. The provenience of the earliest 2 complexes implies habitation of the valley prior to the final Lauren tide ice-stand in the western MacKenzie Basin. The geographic and physiographic location of the valley in the central section of the Eastern Cordilleran Migration Corridor allows correlation of previous work in the western interior with that in the eastern interior Arctic, as well as between the northern and central latitudes of the continent. Analysis of the indicated relationships results in a tentative reconstruction of population movement through the western MacKenzie Basin. The ... |
