ARCTIC Ethnoarchaeological Perspectives on an Athapaskan Moose Kill

ABSTRACT. A recent development in anthropology involves examination of living human populations in an attempt to better understand the “for-mation processes ” that create archaeological remains. An ethnologist and an archaeologist collaborated in the observation and analysis of procure-ment, butcher...
