Dissertation Improvement Grant: Subsistence Economy and Labrador Inuit Culture Change

这是一份论文改进拨款提案，用于资助吉姆·伍利特的工作。该项目考察了拉布拉多因纽特文化的生存和文化变化。在接触时期文化变迁的研究中，对自给经济的考虑依赖于民族历史和可能性的解释。该项目结合了动物考古学和考古植物学对拉布拉多几个地点最近发掘的现有藏品的分析，以及针对当地环境和土地利用模式的口述历史研究。这项研究将把不断变化的经济行为与社会和环境原因联系起来，特别是通过对海豹和鲸鱼狩猎的组织和计划的详细研究。

McGovern CUNY-Hunter College This is a dissertation improvement grant proposal to fund the work of Jim Woollett. The project examines subsistence and cultural change in Labrador Inuit culture. Consideration of subsistence economy in the study of contact-period cultural change has hinged upon ethnohistoric and possibilistic interpretations. This project combines zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical analyses of the existing collections produced from recent excavations at several sites in Labrador with oral history studies that address local environment and land-use patterns. The study will link changing economic behavior to social and environmental causes, most particularly through detailed studies of the organization and scheduling of seal and whale hunting.
