从历史上和人种学上讲,狗一直是北极和亚北极社会的重要资源-提供保护,毛皮和肉类,以及帮助狩猎和运输。狗和人类之间的密切关系也被考古学家用来从对它们遗骸的各种分析中推断人类社会(特别是在饮食和生存方面)。在这里,我们应用稳定同位素和动物考古学分析的互补方法,从永冻层保存的狗遗骸,接触前的Yup'ik村Nunalleq(c。CE 1300-1750),在阿拉斯加西部沿海地区,专门调查狗与人的饮食关系和狗在这个社区中扮演的角色。动物考古学数据表明,该遗址有大量的狗,屠宰痕迹表明它们被加工成肉。多种组织的稳定同位素分析表明,狗的饮食主要以鱼类(特别是鲑鱼)为基础,海洋哺乳动物的消费量可能会在短期内增加。与来自Nunalleq的同期人类毛发数据的比较表明,人类和狗的饮食之间存在密切的相似性,支持在高纬度社会中使用狗作为人类古饮食的代理,这些社会消耗大量的动物蛋白。
Historically and ethnographically dogs have been an important resource for Arctic and subarctic societies — providing protection, fur and meat, as well as aiding hunting and transportation. The close relationship between dogs and humans has also been used by archaeologists to draw inferences about human society (particularly in terms of diet and subsistence) from various analyses of their remains. Here, we apply the complementary approaches of stable isotope and zooarchaeological analysis to dog remains from the permafrost-preserved, pre-contact Yup'ik village site of Nunalleq (c. CE 1300–1750), in coastal western Alaska, specifically to investigate dog-human dietary relationships and the role that dogs played in this community. Zooarchaeological data indicate an abundance of dogs at the site, with butchery marks suggesting that they were processed for meat. Stable isotope analysis of multiple tissues indicates dog diet was largely based on fish (particularly salmonids), with possible short-term increases in marine mammal consumption. Comparison with data from contemporaneous human hair from Nunalleq indicates a close similarity between human and dog diets, supporting the use of dogs as a proxy for human palaeodiet in societies at high-latitude societies consuming significant amounts of animal protein.
