	abstract = {<p>The comparative method is used to trace the culture history of the hunting, gathering and fishing groups who historically occupied the area north of Lake Superior. The lithic and ceramic assemblages from five historic components, considered to be the product of Algonkian peoples, are compared to those from six prehistoric components. Minor differences in stone tool kits are evidently associated with groups who temporarily resided in discrete natural communities. In contrast, ceramics show a mixture of traditions which developed at an earlier time in semi-isolated regions. The application of the direct historic approach suggests that archaeological recoveries are the cumulative product of a single population which in historic times may be recognized as semi-distinct regional groups.</p>},
