Abstract

The author examined the faunal record at three sites—Peccary Cave, Arkansas; Baker Bluff Cave, Tennessee; and Natural Chimneys, Virginia—creating a sympatry construction for the faunas indicating biomes where most of the species co-exist today, and thereby providing analogues for late Wisconsinan habitats.
