Posters on the Archaeology of the Southern Yukon-Alaska Borderlands

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Posters on the Archaeology of the Southern Yukon-Alaska Borderlands" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This session collects posters related to the archaeology of the Southern Yukon-Alaska Borderlands (SY-AB). The SY-AB is here defined as the region north and south of the Alaska Highway and east and west of the international border for about 100 km. It encompasses the highway corridor from the north end of Kluane Lake, Yukon, to the Tanacross, Alaska, regions, with the Wellesley Basin/Yukon-Tanana uplands to the north and the St. Elias–Wrangell Mountain range to the south. It includes Pleistocene southeast Beringia glaciations and fauna, and sites of human occupation in the Allerød and Younger Dryas through the Holocene and historic periods. The posters focus on detailed presentations of quantitative data such as collections of radiocarbon dates and statistical summaries of artifact and fauna inventories, or any topic that is enhanced by consideration of graphical representations. A related presentation symposium is also scheduled (Session ID: 5937).
