	abstract = {<p>During the Middle Prehistoric period hunter-gatherer groups on the Canadian Plateau were small and fairly mobile. It was not until ca. 4500-3500 B.P. that greater sedentism and a shift to \&$\#$39;logistical\&$\#$39; resource procurement occurred. Although the causes for this apparent transition in mobility and hunting strategies are not fully understood, it is suggested that they may be related to paleoenvironmental changes which influenced the abundance, reliability and access to ungulate and salmon resources. It is postulated that decreased temperatures and increased coniferous forests would have led to reduced ungulate populations, which in turn could have provided the incentive for hunter-gatherers to broaden their selection of food resources, and led to increased salmon utilization ca. 4000 B.P.</p>},
