The Stable- and Radio-isotope Chemistry of Thule-Era Foragers in the Eastern Canadian Arctic: Further Studies

该项目建议对加拿大北极东部人类遗骸中的稳定同位素进行分析，并对该地区更多地点的AMS放射性碳测年进行分析。这项研究的主要目的是确定组成经典Thule v改良Thule饮食的主要物种，试图阐明关于捕鲸在这些群体的经济、饮食和文化生活中所扮演的角色的辩论。此外，还将研究有关Sadlermiut骨骼收藏的问题，试图回答有关其文化背景的长期问题。

This project proposes to do an analysis for stable isotopes in human remains from the eastern Canadian Arctic, in addition to AMS radiocarbon dating on additional sites from the region. The main objective of the research is to identify the major species making up the Classic Thule v Modified Thule diet in an attempt to shed light on the debate over the role whaling played in the economic, dietary and cultural lives of these groups. In addition questions concerning the Sadlermiut skeletal collection will be researched in an attempt to answer long-standing questions concerning their cultural affiliations.
