Routes: Alternate Migration Corridors for Early Man in North America
Fladmark KR. 1979. Routes: Alternate Migration Corridors for Early Man in North America. American Antiquity. 44(1):55-69
This paper reviews the relative feasibility of interior and coastal routes for early man entering southern North America from Beringia during the late Pleistocene. Paleoenvironmental and archaeological data suggest that a chain of sea-level refugia around the North Pacific coast could have provided a real alternative to the interior "ice-free" corridor and that maritime cultural adaptations may have been among the first to arrive south of Canada.
