Archaeoentomological Perspectives on Dorset Occupations in Newfoundland: A Case Study from the Site of Phillip’s Garden (EeBi-1)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The Dorset Paleo-Inuit occupied the island of Newfoundland for over 800 years (1990 BP to 1180, producing a unique and identifiable archaeological record. Despite this, our current understanding of this sea-mammal hunting population is essentially based on past analysis of architecture, artefacts, and animal remains. While these data show that the Dorset intensively used sites at different locations through the Arctic and Subarctic, very little information is known regarding their impact on their sur… Show more

“…For example, necrophagous (feeding on corpses or carrion) insects have been used to reconstruct Moche (Peru), Ancient Egyptian, Medieval (France), and Bronze Age (Levant) funerary practices (Huchet 1996(Huchet , 2010(Huchet , 2013Huchet and Greenberg 2010), and pests of stored products have revealed new information about trade and sanitary conditions in grain stores (Huchet 2017;King et al 2014;Smith and Kenward 2011). In general terms, Coleoptera (beetles) subfossils can be used to reconstruct local ecological and climatic conditions (Dussault, Bell, and Grimes 2016;Elias 1997;Poher et al 2017;Ponel et al 2005), while also allowing the examination of past biodiversity change and the role humans played in the dispersal of species worldwide (Bain and King 2011;Panagiotakopulu 2014;Sadler 1991).…”

“…À partir des années 1990, l'archéoentomologie commence à se développer en Amérique du Nord, coïncidant avec les fouilles d'occupations dorsétiennes et inuites sur l'île de Baffin (voir Bain 1994Bain , 1997Bain , 1998Smith 1992Smith , 1994. Par la suite, quelques assemblages provenant de sites situés au Labrador, à Terre-Neuve et en Alaska sont également examinés (Bain 2000(Bain , 2001bDussault et Bain 2010 ;Dussault, Bell et Grimes 2016 ;Forbes et al 2015 ;Hoffecker et al 2012).…”

“…Cet article présente une introduction à l'archéoentomologie et dresse un premier bilan des résultats des analyses conduites jusqu'à présent dans les régions circumpolaires du continent américain. Dussault, Bell et Grimes 2016 ;Forbes et al 2014 ;Huchet 1996 ;Ponel et al 2013 ;Smith 2012). La paléoentomologie et l'archéoentomologie se basent donc sur les mêmes principes et méthodologie et fondent leurs reconstitutions sur les exigences biologiques et écologiques des espèces d'insectes extraites d'échantillons de sédiments ou de tourbe (Elias 2010).…”
