Driftwood, seal oil and caribou bones: interdisciplinary insight into fuel management and fire-related activities in Arctic contexts
International audience Within the Cape Espenberg sites, layers of carbonized and cemented remains are found associated with Birnirk and Thule semi-subterranean houses (11th-18th century AD). These burned areas raise a number of questions about re related outside activities, the use of multiple fuels...
