Two Transitional Sites at Port au Choix, Northwestern Newfoundland
Dating archaeobotanical remains: A cautionary tale from Port au Choix, Newfoundland
Dorset Sled-Shoe Design and Cold-Season Transport at Phillip's Garden (EeBi-1), Northwestern Newfoundland
The Dorset site of Phillip’s Garden (EeBi-1) in Newfoundland is unusual for its size, the distinct character of its settlement, and its rich material remains, including a wide range of osseous (bone, antler, and ivory) tools. This paper presents a comprehensive description of sled technology at the site through an analysis of sled shoes, their design, manufacture sequence, distribution, and the materials selected for their fabrication. The result…

Impact Assessment of Current and Future Sea-Level Change on Coastal Archaeological Resources-Illustrated Examples From Northern Newfoundland
Coastal archaeological heritage is potentially vulnerable to increased erosion resulting from predicted future sea-level rise and increased storminess. As all sites cannot be protected, it is essential that heritage managers know which sites and landscapes are most at risk so they can prioritize resources and decision-making most effectively. One method of doing so is through desk-based modeling of coastal vulnerability. This article outlines the…
Dorset Palaeoeskimo Skin Processing at Phillip's Garden, Port au Choix, Northwestern Newfoundland
This paper examines artifactual and palaeo-limnological evidence of sealskin processing associated with Phillip’s Garden, a Dorset Palaeoeskimo site at Port au Choix in northwestern Newfoundland. We propose that harp seals were hunted from Phillip’s Garden as much for skins as for meat and fat, and that processing sealskins was the first step in the important activity of making clothes, boots, and other items. We outline the steps and tools invol…
Hunter-Gatherer Impact on Subarctic Vegetation: Amerindian and Palaeoeskimo Occupations of Port au Choix, Northwestern Newfoundland

Prehistoric cultures, reconstructed coasts: Maritime Archaic Indian site distribution in Newfoundland
We argue that variable and complex post-glacial relative sea level (RSL) in Newfoundland is linked to (1) the uneven distribution around the coastline of late Maritime Archaic Indian (MAI) sites (5500–3200 bp) and (2) the apparent absence of early MAI sites (8000–5500 bp), despite their presence in nearby southern Labrador. Three post-glacial RSL histories are described for different regions of Newfoundland: continuous emergence (type A), initial…

Hunter-gatherer interactions: Mutualism and resource partitioning on the Island of Newfoundland
This paper examines the interaction of two prehistoric cultures, Recent Indian and Palaeoeskimo, who co-existed on the Island of Newfoundland in northeastern Canada. I argue that their relationship was both complementary and competitive, based on their different economic patterns (niche differentiation), both of which included an emphasis on the same coastal resources (niche overlap). The implication of this is that the behavioural characteristic…
Changing Subsistence Practices at the Dorset Paleoeskimo Site of Phillip's Garden, Newfoundland
A comparison of identified faunal assemblages from the Dorset site of Phillip's Garden indicates that harp seal hunting was the main focus of activity throughout the site's occupation. Despite the highly specialized nature of site use, it appears that reliance on harp seal decreased over time while fish and birds became increasingly important. These changes may reflect longer seasonal occupations at the site in later centuries, and/or a decrease …
Prehistory of Newfoundlandhunter-gatherers: Extinctions or adaptations
The island of Newfoundland was occupied by a series of aboriginal cultures, beginning with the Maritime Archaic Indians (c. 4500–3200 bp), followed by the Groswater Palaeoeskimos (c. 2800–1900 bp), Dorset Palaeoeskimos (c 2000–1200 bp), Recent Indians (c. 2000–300 bp) and ending with the historic Beothuk Indians (European contact to ad 1829). In an early and influential paper Tuck and Pastore (1985) suggested that Newfoundland's long occupation s…

Seasonal Variation in Maglemosian Group Size and Structure: A New Model
Excavations at a Younger Stone Age settlement in Varangerfjord, Norway
In 1978 the Younger Stone Age (6500–1800 BP) site of Nyelv Nedre Vest in Varangerfjord, northeastern Norway, was partly excavated before road widening, allowing reassessment of Younger Stone Age settlement patterns in die area. Early settlement in Varanger was formerly thought to involve regular seasonal movements between sites. Analysis of faunal refuse from Nyelv Nedre Vest now indicates year- round occupation, and re-examination of data from o…

Northern coastal hunter-fishers: An archaeological model
Northern hunter‐fishers share certain features which differentiate them from most hunter‐gatherer groups and which are more characteristic of food‐producing societies. Many of the differences between northern hunter‐fishers and the more familiar hunter‐gatherers lie in the degree of residential mobility where the resources vary seasonally rather than locationally, and thus can be exploited from a single settlement. In northern coastal areas most …
