Norse Greenland Dietary Economy ca. AD 980-ca. AD 1450
An initial study of the 13 C values for human bone collagen of 27 Norse Greenlanders in the late 1990s suggested a change in the Norse diet from predominantly terrestrial to predominantly marine food. This shift may well indicate a change in diet; the question left open by the limited initial isotope study was, however, whether the change in diet was a reflection of altered subsistence strategies or altered farming practices. Furthermore, the fir…
Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopic Measurements of the Wild Animals Hunted by the Norse and the Neo-Eskimo People of Greenland
Isotopic measurements of the terrestrial and marine wild animal species of greatest importance to Greenlandic Norse and Neo-Eskimo people were obtained to provide a solid basis for undertaking isotopic dietary analyses of these two human groups. The samples studied were animal bones from archaeological excavations of Norse and Neo-Eskimo middens. As expected, the values for the terrestrial and marine species were found to have characteristic isot…
Isotopic Analyses of The Domestic Animals of Norse Greenland
To provide a basis for the isotopic dietary study of the Greenland Norse, and as an interesting study in itself, measures of the stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios were obtained for 118 samples of archaeological bone from 6 species of the Norse domestic animals. These samples were obtained from museum faunal collections representing archaeological excavations of 10 Norse sites, five in each of the two Norse settlements in Gre…
Radiocarbon Dating Caribou Antler and Bone
Old archaeological radiocarbon dating lore has it that caribou antler and bone give different dating results, and that for some fundamental reason antler is unreliable as a dating material. We tested this idea by measuring radiocarbon concentrations in the bone and antler of two caribou (one recent, one ancient) for which the antler was still attached to the cranium. No significant differences were found. Thus, it seems that this old myth is grou…
Appendix
The archaeological remains described in this article are from selected Thule culture contexts from the costal site Illorpaat ( Godthab district), on the south side of Hope Island, excavated in 1972 and 1975. In order to obtain the best possible sample of specimens from the site, the excavations also included a substantial area of midden deposits. Radiocarbon datings of both marine and terrestrial animal bones together with historical sources plac…
