The Paleo-Arctic Tradition is the name given by archaeologists to the cultural tradition of the earliest well-documented human occupants of the North American Arctic, which date from the period 8000–5000 BC. The tradition covers Alaska and expands far into the east, west, and the Southwest Yukon Territory. The Upward Sun River site, a Late Pleistocene archaeological site associated with the Paleo-Arctic Tradition, located in the Tanana Valley, Alaska has now been dated to around 11,500 BP. Upward Sun River is the site of the oldest human remains discovered on the American side of Beringia.

  • The Paleo-Arctic Tradition is the name given by archaeologists to the cultural tradition of the earliest well-documented human occupants of the North American Arctic, which date from the period 8000–5000 BC. The tradition covers Alaska and expands far into the east, west, and the Southwest Yukon Territory. The Upward Sun River site, a Late Pleistocene archaeological site associated with the Paleo-Arctic Tradition, located in the Tanana Valley, Alaska has now been dated to around 11,500 BP. Upward Sun River is the site of the oldest human remains discovered on the American side of Beringia. Around 8000 BC, Alaska was still connected to Siberia with the landbridge, located in the current Bering Strait. People who inhabited this region in Alaska were of the Dyuktai tradition, originally located in Siberia. Eventually, the Dyuktai changed into the Sumnagin culture, a hunting/fishing group, whose culture was defined by possessing a new technology. Other cultures flourished as well, all being placed under the general category of the Paleo-Arctic tradition. "The Paleo-Arctic tradition is still a shadowy entity, a patchwork of local Early Holocene cultural traditions that flourished over an enormous area of extreme northwestern North America for at least 4000 years, and longer in many places. Other terms such as the Northwest Microblade tradition, Denali Complex, and Beringian tradition have been used to describe these same general adaptations, but Paleo-Arctic is the most appropriate because it is the kind of general label that reflects a great variety of different human adaptations during a period of increasing environmental diversity and change" (Fagan, p.173). The Paleo-Arctic is mostly known for lithic remains (stone technology). Some artifacts found include microblades, small wedge-shaped cores, some leaf-shaped bifaces, scrapers, and graving tools. The microblades were used as hunting weapons and were mounted in wood, antler, or bone points. Paleo-Arctic stone specialists also created bifaces that were used as tools and as cores for the production of large artifact blanks. Little evidence remains of the culture's settlement patterns, because many of the settlements were inundated by the rising sea levels of the Holocene; however, remains of stone tools were discovered, giving indirect evidence of settlement sites.

  • Paleo-Arctische culturen (Engels: Paleo-Arctic Tradition, ook Northwest Microblade tradition, Denali Complex, of Beringian Tradition) zijn de archeologische culturen van de vroegste gedocumenteerde menselijke bewoners van het Noord-Amerikaanse Noordpoolgebied, daterend uit de periode 12.000-5000 v.Chr. Ze omvat een lappendeken van lokale vroeg-Holocene culturele tradities die voor minstens 7000 jaar over een groot gebied van Alaska tot in het westen van Yukon bloeiden, en een grote verscheidenheid aan menselijke aanpassingen in een periode van toenemende ecologische diversiteit weerspiegelden. Tot omstreeks 9000 v.Chr. was Alaska nog via de Beringlandbrug in de huidige Beringstraat met Siberië verbonden. Tussen Alaska en de rest van het Amerikaanse continent lag het , wat contacten met de daar al meerdere duizenden jaren wonende paleo-indianen belemmerde. De contacten lagen daarom naar het westen, en de oorspronkelijk uit Jakoetië afkomstige Djoektajcultuur spreidde zich dan ook uit tot het huidige Alaska. Uiteindelijk werd de Djoektajcultuur vervangen door de Soemnagincultuur van jagers en vissers, die een verbeterde microlithische technologie bezat. Naast dezen waren er nog andere lokale culturen die onder de paleo-Arctische traditie vallen. De paleo-Arctische culturen zijn vooral bekend van hun stenen werktuigen. Onder de gevonden artefacten bevinden zich , kleine wigvormige , sommige bladvormige klingen, en stekers. De microklingen werden gemonteerd in hout, gewei of botpunten en gebruikt als jachtwapens. Men maakte ook tweezijdige klingen die als gereedschap of als kernen voor de productie van artefacten gebruikt werden. Over de nederzettingspatronen is weinig bekend. De meeste woonplaatsen zijn waarschijnlijk door de stijgende zeespiegel van het Holoceen overspoeld. De met de paleo-Arctische traditie geassocieerde Laat Pleistocene Upward Sun River site in de , Alaska, is gedateerd rond 8.500 v.Chr. Het is de locatie van de oudste menselijke overblijfselen gevonden aan de Amerikaanse kant van de Beringlandbrug. De bevolking van Beringia, (Ancient Beringian) genaamd, was verwant met de Oud Noord-Euraziatisch genaamde populatie uit Centraal-Siberië. Een Oud Noord-Euraziatisch element was ook aanwezig in de basispopulatie waar eerder de paleo-indianen uit ontstaan waren. De oud-Beringiërs bezaten echter genetische variaties die niet bij de paleo-indianen noch bij de latere bevolking van het gebied voorkwamen. Met de komst van de paleo-Eskimo's werden de paleo-Arctische culturen opgevolgd door de Arctische kleine werktuigtraditie. (nl)
  • Per Culture Paleo-artiche, anche indicate come Tradizione Paleo Artica, (in inglese American Paleo-Arctic tradition - APA), si intende in archeologia un insieme ben documentato di culture dei primi abitanti dell'Artico Nord Americano. Esse risalgono alla prima fase Arcaica della Preistoria Americana nel periodo 8000-5000 a.C. successivo all'ultima glaciazione. Le aree interessate da queste culture comprende l'Alaska, il sud-ovest del Territorio dello Yukon e il nord-ovest della Columbia Britannica. La tradizione paleo-artica fu inizialmente definita dall'archeologo americano Douglas Anderson nel 1970 sulla base degli studi da lui effettuati in numerosi siti dell'Alaska. Questa terminologia fu successivamente utilizzata per comprendere anche altre culture quali ad esempio il Denali Complex, la tradizione Beringian e la tradizione Athapaskan, che vengono considerate una sorta di regionalizzazioni locali di una matrice comune. Le Culture Paleo-artiche americane sembrano avere la loro origine in culture della Siberia orientale, ed in particolare della cultura Dyuktai e della successiva che nell'ultimo pleistocene hanno attraversato lo stretto di Beringia diffondendosi in Alaska. Queste culture sono note per la loro produzione litica: microlame, piccoli nuclei a forma di cuneo, piccoli bifacciali e raschiatoi. Importanti siti in Alaska comprendono: presso Amber nell'Alaska nord-occidentale, Trail Creek Caves nella Penisola di Seward, Dry Creek lungo il fiume Nenana presso il Parco nazionale di Denali, nella valle del fiume Tanana, ad altri vari siti sulle Brooks Range.
