Readings - Quaternary Geology
Selected Readings in Western Subarctic Quaternary Geology Bobrowsky 1990 - Archaeological Geology of Sites in Western Canada - focus your reading on general notes regarding quaternary history, including Beringia and the Ice-Free Corridor, and the Yukon Territory section. Thorson 1990 - Geological Contexts of Archaeological Sites in Beringia - this is an excellent primer on the topic; pay particular attention to the sections on peri-glacial sedimentary processes that effect archaeological sites in the North. Froese and Zazula 2003 - Mammoth Conference Field Guide - provides a good over-view of various aspects of Yukon geology and paleontology; don't worry too much about the field trip specifics. Froese et al. 2001 - Field Guide to Quaternary Research in Central and Western Yukon Territory - similar content to Froese and Zazula 2003, but with some differences. Robinson 2001 - Extending the Late Holocene White River Ash Distribution, Northwestern Canada - one of a number of studies on this important volcanic eruption, the ash of which you will encounter in your work this summer; reading it will provide you with a general overview of previous work. Moody et al. 1992 - Northern Athapaskan Oral Traditions and the White River Volcano - summarizes native accounts still told of this cataclysmic event, the year of two winters.
