Book Synopsis Thule Culture in Western Coronation Gulf, N.W.T. by : David A. Morrison

This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological excavations between 1979 and 1981 at three house sites on the western coast of Coronation Gulf attempt to investigate Thule culture in this strategic but marginal region. These sites, along with others already excavated, appear to represent a fairly distinctive stylistic variant of Thule culture in the western central Arctic. This variant is primarily affiliated with western rather than eastern Thule, and appears to be of direct Alaskan origin.

Book Synopsis Iglulualumiut Prehistory by : David A. Morrison
Download or read book Iglulualumiut Prehistory written by David A. Morrison and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines material from four archaeological sites revealing the existence of a previously unrecognized late prehistoric/early historic Inuit society living in Franklin Bay, in the western Canadian Arctic. These people, the Iglulualumiut, had a culture closely resembling that of neighbouring Mackenzie Inuit, of whom they can be considered an extension. They appear to have been of local Thule culture origin, and the last remnants of a once widespread Inuit occupation along the southern coast of Amundsen Gulf.
Book Synopsis In Order to Live Untroubled by : Renee Fossett
Download or read book In Order to Live Untroubled written by Renee Fossett and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2001-07-05 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the long human history of the Canadian central arctic, there is still little historical writing on the Inuit peoples of this vast region. Although archaeologists and anthropologists have studied ancient and contemporary Inuit societies, the Inuit world in the crucial period from the 16th to the 20th centuries remains largely undescribed and unexplained. In Order to Live Untroubled helps fill this 400-year gap by providing the first, broad, historical survey of the Inuit peoples of the central arctic.Drawing on a wide array of eyewitness accounts, journals, oral sources, and findings from material culture and other disciplines, historian Renee Fossett explains how different Inuit societies developed strategies and adaptations for survival to deal with the challenges of their physical and social environments over the centuries. In Order to Live Untroubled examines how and why Inuit created their cultural institutions before they came under the pervasive influence of Euro-Canadian society. This fascinating account of Inuit encounters with explorers, fur traders, and other Aboriginal peoples is a rich and detailed glimpse into a long-hidden historical world.

Book Synopsis Islands of Inquiry by : Geoffrey Richard Clark
Download or read book Islands of Inquiry written by Geoffrey Richard Clark and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of the papers in this volume present new and innovative research into the processes of maritime colonisation, processes that affect archaeological contexts from islands to continents. Others shift focus from process to the archaeology of maritime places from the Bering to the Torres Straits, providing highly detailed discussions of how living by and with the sea is woven into all elements of human life from subsistence to trade and to ritual. Of equal importance are more abstract discussions of islands as natural places refashioned by human occupation, either through the introduction of new organisms or new systems of production and consumption. These transformation stories gain further texture (and variety) through close examinations of some of the more significant consequences of colonisation and migration, particularly the creation of new cultural identities. A final set of papers explores the ways in which the techniques of archaelogical sciences have provided insights into the fauna of the islands and the human history of such places."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis Exploring Atlantic Transitions by : Peter Edward Pope
Download or read book Exploring Atlantic Transitions written by Peter Edward Pope and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2013 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current approaches to the archaeological understanding of permanence and transience in the early modern period, Can we approach European expansion to the Americas and elsewhere without colonial triumphalism? A research strategy which automatically treats early establishments overseas as embryonic colonies produces predictable results: in retrospect, some were, some were not. The approach reflected in the essays collected here does not exclude an interest in colonialism as an enduring practice, but the focus of the volume is population mobility and stability. Post-medieval archaeology has much to contribute to our understanding of the gradual drift of ordinary people - the cast of thousands, anonymous or almost-forgotten behind the famous names of history. The main concern of the articles here is the post-medieval expansion of the English-speaking world to North America, particularly Newfoundland and the Chesapeake, but the volume includes perspectives on Ireland and New France also. While most attend to the movement of Europeans, interactions with Native peoples, using the Labrador Inuit as a case study, are not neglected. PETER E. POPE was University Research Professor and former Head of the Department of Archaeology at Memorial University in St John's, Newfoundland; SHANNON LEWIS-SIMPSON researches aspects of cultural identity and interaction in the Viking-Age North Atlantic. She lectures part-time at Memorial University.
