Inuit animal use and shifting identities in 19th-century Labrador: the zooarchaeology of Snooks Cove
The archaeological site of Snooks Cove (GaBp-7), situated in Hamilton Inlet along the central coast of Labrador, has been confirmed as a place where multiple Inuit families resided from the late 18th through 19th centuries.
