“…The region was covered by a continental ice sheet until approximately 10 300 years ago (Stroeven et al 2016); post-glacial rebound of the ground continues to the present day (e.g. Vaneeckhout et al 2012;Hakonen 2017).

The European far north is an improbable location for a large prehistoric hunter-gatherer cemetery. Tainiaro, 80km south of the Arctic Circle, was first excavated four decades ago but the unpublished findings and their potential significance have evaded wider recognition. Despite the absence of skeletal evidence, dozens of fifth-millennium BC pits have been tentatively interpreted as burials. Here, the authors present the first analytical and comparative overview of the site. Many of the pits are consistent in form with those used for inhumation at contemporaneous sites suggesting that Tainiaro is one of the largest Stone Age cemeteries in northern Europe and raising questions about the cultural and subsistence practices of prehistoric societies in the subarctic.

“…Not surprisingly the longterm human history of this rapidly changing coastal environment has been complex. Previous assessments that early boreal forest hunters lived in low population densities and were very mobile (Martijn 1969, Wright 1972 have been reconsidered based on archaeological studies elsewhere (Vaneeckhout et al 2012). Recent findings from an archaeological excavation of what was https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol23/iss3/art18/ originally a beach within a large sheltered inlet of the Wemindji shoreline suggest a similar pattern with greater population densities and lower than expected mobility during at least some periods in the past (Pendea et al 2011).…”

ABSTRACT. Cultural edges, as sites of encounter and interaction between two or more cultural groups, tend to result in increased access to knowledge, skills, and material goods. First proposed more than a decade ago as an elaboration of the ecological edge concept, we suggest that cultural edges merit closer attention, particularly in relation to the complex histories and diverse processes of interaction indigenous communities have had with outsiders, including settlers and other indigenous groups. Our analysis is focused on the coastal Cree Nation of Wemindji, Eeyou Istchee, northern Québec (Canada) where multiple ecological and cultural edges have provided increased access to harvesting resources as well as expanded opportunities for social interaction and partnerships, knowledge and technology transfer, and economic diversification. As the locus within indigenous social-ecological systems where strategies for resistance and adaptation to disturbance and change are applied, including active enhancement of edge benefits, the concept of edges contributes to our understanding of the social, cultural, and ecological processes that shape indigenous territories and contribute to enhanced social-ecological resilience.
