Abstract
  • This work examines the varied populations which have inhabited the South Fork region from prehistoric times to the present. It disclosed that even though almost no archaeology has been done in the area, data from contiguous regions suggest that persistent and careful archaeological investigation should reveal valuable and informative sites dating back at least as far as the oldest sites currently known in Idaho. This work also shows that, notwithstanding basic ethnic differences, a temporal continuum of over 12,000 years, and the fact of an isolated mountain habitat, various human populations did not live marginal existences dependent upon periodic excursions outside the mountain area. Rather, their lives were comfortable, satisfying, and amply provided for year round from within their mountain habitat. Various populations maintained an overall, preferred cultural emphasis on positive isolation ism which permeated their distinct cultures and affected in a similar manner their relationships and dealings with outsiders, whether these outsiders were culturally similar or culturally different in origin from themselves.
