	abstract = {Periodic extinctions of human populations which are well documented in the
archaeological record are examined in the light of the number and nature of
faunal resources available to prehistoric peoples on the Island of Newfoundland.
The principal prey species, both marine and terrestrial, are both limited in number
and because of their migratory habits only seasonally available. During {\textquotedblleft}normal{\textquotedblright}
times species become available at times during the year which allow human groups
to take advantage of their presence and populations to flourish. Even short term
interruptions of normal availability of a single species, however, can cause
extreme stress upon human populations. The lack of {\textquotedblleft}fall-back{\textquotedblright} resources within
this simple ecosystem may ultimately have also contributed to the observed
extinctions of human groups.},
