Abstract

The Dorset sites of Tayara (KbFk-7) and KcFs-2 have yielded a rich assemblage of common eider duck (Somateria mollissima) and thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia). This study examines the role of birds and treatment of avian remains in the subsistence practices of Paleoeskimo groups along the southern coast of the Hudson Strait through the analysis of element representation, patterns of breakage, and bone-surface modifications. Our results demonstrate that although birds played a secondary role when compared with marine and terrestrial mammals, their economic importance cannot be understated.

鸟类在努那维克多塞特人的生存实践中的作用

塔亚拉(KbFk-7)和KcFs-2的多塞特遗址发现了丰富的普通绒鸭(Somateria mollissima)和厚嘴鸭(Uria lomvia)。本研究通过分析哈德逊海峡南部海岸古爱斯基摩人群体的元素表现、断裂模式和骨表面修饰，探讨了鸟类的作用和鸟类遗骸的处理。我们的研究结果表明，尽管与海洋和陆地哺乳动物相比，鸟类的作用是次要的，但它们的经济重要性不可低估。

期刊介绍： Arctic Anthropology, founded in 1962 by Chester S. Chard, is an international journal devoted to the study of Old and New World northern cultures and peoples. Archaeology, ethnology, physical anthropology, and related disciplines are represented, with emphasis on: studies of specific cultures of the arctic, subarctic and contiguous regions of the world; the peopling of the New World; relationships between New World and Eurasian cultures of the circumpolar zone; contemporary problems and culture change among northern peoples; and new directions in interdisciplinary northern research.
