Ammann et al. 2000; Williams et al. 2002). However, pronounced spatial variation within a relatively small area would have been present, and environmental conditions within that area would have changed rather quickly, archaeologically speaking. It seems that no single, homogenous adaptive solution prevailed across the state, or at least none persisted in a single area throughout the environmentally turbulent period of the terminal Pleistocene. Perhaps the earliest archaeological record, particularly in the interior where the Denali and Nenana complexes prevailed, reflects a number of different solutions, each suited to a specific habitat structure, compressed into a relatively brief period of time.
