Since the melting of the great ice sheets 12,000 years ago, there have been dramatic changes in climate, landforms, and plant, animal, and human communities in North America. Scientist perceive that midway between the ice age and the present day there was a warm, dry climatic episode in areas such as south-central Saskatchewan. the Gowen sites, formerly located where SaskatoonOs municipal dump now lies, held an important part of the story. Through the study of these sites, as well as by comparisons with 113 other archaeological sites scattered throughout the Plains area, the author seeks to illuminate a poorly understood period in the prehistory of the Northern Plains. Improved understanding of past episodes of climatic warming may even prove useful to researchers considering the implications of climatic warming in our own time.
