520 3 |a The Northwest Coast Microblade tradition (NWCMt) is rooted in the upper Paleolithic technologies of northern Eurasia. The use of microblade technology during the early Holocene, circa 14C 9.5 to 7 ka BP, on the northern Northwest Coast (Alexander Archipelago) represents a unique evolutionary adaptation shaped by the environment. Interpreting the technology of this "formative period" is essential to understanding subsequent hunter-gatherer adaptations and cultural development in the region. The analysis focuses on microblades from On-Your-Knees Cave (49-PET-408) on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, which is among the most thoroughly excavated and well documented archeological sites on the Northwest Coast dating to this time period. The research focuses on microblade morphometrics and spatial distributions to interpret technological organization in the Alexander Archipelago and vicinity. It is suggested that some of the microblades recovered were used in end- and side-hafted tools.
