This book is an extended enquiry into those ideas which were desirable, those which were accepted and those which were rejected as criteria which could influence size, kin composition, temporal persistence, relative exogamy and recruitment in Northern Athapaskan local groups.

Autor

John W. (Jack) Ives was born in Saskatchewan and received his B.A. from the University of Saskatchewan. He went on to receive his M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Alberta and his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Michigan. Ives has been the Director of the Archaeological Survey of Alberta since 1986, where he was previously Acting Head of Research (1985-86) and Boreal Forest Archaeologist (1979-1985). He is also an Adjunct Professor with the Department of Anthropology, University of Alberta. Dr. Ives is currently involved in two Archaeological Survey of Alberta projects. The first is the Heilongjiang-Alberta Archaeo-logical Research Project, in which Alberta and Chinese scientists are exploring the possibility that northeastern China was among the sources from which New World Natives eventually emerged some 20,000 years ago. The second is the First Albertans Project, designed to investigate how prehistoric Natives first came to Alberta more than 11,000 years ago, possibly through an ice-free corridor along the foothills and eastern flanks of the Rocky Mountains. Ives has published a number of articles and technical papers about northern Alberta and Subarctic prehistory, Subarctic Man-land relationships, and palaeoecology.
