Abstract
This
thesis
presents
analyses
of the
tabular
slate
tool
collection
from
Phillip's
Garden
(EeBi-1)
, a
Dorset
site
in
Newfoundland.
The
purpose
of this
study
is
to
better
understand
the
role
tabular
slate
tools
held
in
Dorset
society.
First
, to
assist
in
effective
communications
, a
typology
was
created
for
tabular
slate
tools.
Then
, the
microware
of
tabular
slate
tools
was
examined
to
determine
their
use
, and
k-mean
analysis
was
used
to
determine
their
spatial
distribution.
It
was
hypothesized
that
tabular
slate
tools
were
used
in
skin
processing
activities
,
which
was
partially
supported
by the
microware
analysis.
Thus
, the
spatial
distribution
of
tabular
slate
tools
was
examined
through
the
context
of
skin
processing
activities
, and their
connection
to
functional
and
social
aspects
of
Dorset
society.
A
sample
of
tabular
slate
tools
from
other
Newfoundland
Dorset
sites
were also
examined
to
determine
if they
fit
into the
same
typology
and were
used
in the
same
way
as those from
Phillip's
Garden.
