摘要

The Sheriden Cave excavations presented a rare opportunity to compare well—preserved mammalian remains from the late Pleistocene eco-system with those of mammals currently living in northwest Ohio. Pleistocene environmental conditions, climate, glacial conditions, and several Pleistocene sites yielding mammalian remains were reviewed in order to provide a means of comparison on a similar time frame to Sheriden Cave. Four units in the cave yielded mammalian remains of extinct, extralimital, and extant species that shared the same eco-system in the late Pleistocene. A comparison of several species represented in the cave deposits, when compared to modern distributions in the area, demonstrated that several species that shared the same environment during the late Ice Age in Ohio differ in terns of geographical distribution today. Analog species, those sharing similar environments and non-analog species, those that do not share the same environment, have changed significantly over time.; The history and assumptions of the uniformitarianist and catastrophist paradigms as they applied to geology and paleontology were reviewed as a significant part of the study to determine whether the pattern at Sheriden Cave reflected gradual, uniform environmental change or catastrophic change. Comparisons were made using existing data from the cave excavations accumulated since the cave's discovery in 1990.; Outcomes demonstrated that the Sheriden Cave assemblage did not reflect the uniformitarian paradigm or the catastrophist paradigm. The significance of the environmental changes leading to the results of the study confirmed that the past and present biomes are very different. In terms of theory, the Sheriden Cave assemblage, dates, and environmental data reflect the paradigm of punctuated change.; The presence of artifacts found in association with some of the mammalian remains spurred an in-depth review of hunter-gatherer subsistence strategies. These results were incorporated with the findings to provide some speculations regarding the effects of this environmental change on hunter-gatherer subsistence strategies.
