Abstract
The
first
indication
that an
early
Palaeo-Eskimo
occupation
was
present
in
Bonavista
Bay
came
from
excavations
at The
Beaches
site
in the
early
1970's.
However
, its
relationship
to the
Middle
Dorset
occupation
and its
chronological
significance
were
unclear.
--
The
primary
goals
of this
study
are to
identify
and
examine
the
Palaeo-Eskimo
,
manifestations
in
Bonavista
Bay
and to
determine
if the
differences
between
them
-
in
technology
,
time
and
use
of
raw
materials
-
suggest
distinctly
different
occupations.
In
order
to
achieve
these
goals
, a
detailed
comparison
of
artifact
attributes
,
tool
categories
,
utilization
of
raw
materials
and
available
radiocarbon
results
from
eight
Bonavista
Bay
sites
is
presented.
Comparisons
are also
made
with
dated
Palaeo-Eskimo
occupations
in
other
areas
of
Newfoundland
and
Labrador.
--
Based
on the
results
of the
analysis
, the
Palaeo-Eskimo
occupations
are
identified
as the
Groswater
and
Middle
Dorset
phases
of
two
temporally
and
technologically
distinct
traditions:
Early
and
Late
Palaeo-Eskimo.
Furthermore
, there
clearly
exists
a
cultural
relationship
between
the
Bonavista
Bay
Groswater
and
Middle
Dorset
phases
and
similar
complexes
throughout
Newfoundland
and
Labrador.
