	abstract = {Little Ice Age local faunas from two late prehistoric to
early historic earthlodge villages in central North Dakota,
Scattered Village and On-A-Slant Village, are characterized
by low taxonomic richness and evenness, characteristics
that are out of phase with natural, undisturbed micromammal
communities. The faunas include 11 and 13 taxa,
respectively, with deer/white-footed mice (Peromyscus sp.)
comprising roughly three-quarters of the individuals in
each fauna. This distribution signals anthropogenic degradation
of local natural habitats as well as rodent infestation
afforded by a stable food resource (i.e., village stores), excellent artificial cover, and protection from natural predators.
The area of sympatry for both faunas centers on central
Montana and suggests cooler, drier climates with more
efficient rainfall compared to the modern situation. This finding compares favorably to other reconstructions of Little Ice
Age climates in the region.},
