sidered alongside their conclusions. First, why should we expect migratory caribou to use the AAR in the first place? Some discussion of caribou ecology, behavioral differences between barren ground and woodland caribou, and potential alternative prey species would have been an important addition. Secondly, why should we expect early Holocene hunters to devote the necessary time and effort to construct stone hunting infrastructure, apparently unique in Eastern North American prehistory? The ethnographic sections focus their attention on stone hunting constructions, yet missing from the volume is a large section of the ethnographic literature, including subarctic caribou hunters and the use of wood, hide, and other organic materials to direct animal movements. Relying heavily on a relational analogy with Inuit caribou hunters in the treeless arctic can be problematic when dealing with early Holocene hunters in a wooded sub-arctic environment. Instead, a skeptic might ask, could the mapped stone patterns be explained by natural mechanisms like erosion during the periodic, abrupt Mattawa high stands that have pulsed through the Lake Huron basin, or linear arrays of prograded shoreline deposits? Consideration of these alternative geological explanations would have greatly improved the volume.
