description |
This dissertation presents the results of chemical and physical soil surveys undertaken at a 2,000 year old Taltheilei hunter–gatherer site off the west coast of Hudson Bay in southern Nunavut. My goal is to develop archeological soil chemistry research in Canada. Research focuses on refining methods for determining whether northern soils can accept and preserve anthropogenic chemical residues, and for distinguishing natural from human chemical patterns. Linking the concepts of soilscapes and site structures, I also discuss how anthropogenic chemical archives are formed, and I highlight what these records tell us about hunter–gatherer site functions, residential mobility, and site seasonality. Archaeological site structure and soilscape analyses are used to define said variables at the Ikirahak study site. Results contribute to building understandings of the preservation of anthropogenic chemical records and to clarifying previously unrecognized Taltheilei lifeways, in turn better resolving diversities in ... |
