	abstract = {<p>The purpose of this paper is to present a chronology of geoarchaeological contributions to SCAPE investigations conducted within the glacial Lake Hind Basin located in southwestern Manitoba. Initial investigations focused on determining the age of parabolic dunes that dominate the modern Makotchi-Ded-Dontipi dune field landscape. Results of this phase of the investigation demonstrated that these dunes are late-Holocene and that the spatial pattern of archaeological sites within this dune field is indicative of a purposeful settlement pattern. Results of subsequent research produced a basin-wide model for local water table fluctuation-eolian landscape response linked to regional-scale paleoenvironmental change; determined that all dune fields within the basin are late-Holocene; and demonstrated that these ecologically complex dune field landscapes dependably provided water and a variety resources that made them attractive to past human groups. Future research will focus on identifying the degree to which these landscapes are the result of human activity.</p>},
