AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is a study of contemporary and past environments and human adaptations in Hamilton Inlet, Labrador. The portions processed for the files include data on the present-day environment, some ethnographic information about Montagnais-Naskapi subsistence and settlement patterns, and data on environmental and historical reconstruction. The author uses present-day ethnographic materials and seconday sources to construct models of 'subsistence settlement systems' and adaptational types to interpret the archaeological record by ethnographic analogy. The source includes excellent environmental data and interesting theoretical models of processes of adaptation. The Hamilton Inlet area is and has been culturally mixed. The researcher should be aware of the fact that some of the data, especially that referring to marine adaptations, may refer to Labrador Eskimos rather than the Montagnais-Naskapi.
