Abstrakt: This poorly defined cultural group includes assemblages that contain a variety of flaked stone tools indicative of the hunting and lake fishing way of life of northern subarctic peoples. Many of the artifacts found are characteristic of other traditions. Lanceolate bifaces similar to those of the Plano tradition, notched spear points like those found in many places in interior North America, microblades and cores like those of the Northwest Microblade tradition, notched pebble sinkers that have a wide geographic distribution, and numerous end scrapers like those found in many hunting cultures occur in the northern Archaic tradition. It is uncertain whether this amalgamation of technologies is the result of interaction and borrowing between existing cultures or of the mixing of components left during short-term occupations by different seasonally migrant peoples. Specialists disagree on the utility of this grouping.
