Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis addresses the question of Thule plant and woody fuel use at Cape Espenberg, Alaska between approximately AD 1500 and 1700. The objective of this thesis is to determine how the Thule at Cape Espenberg were using various plant species, including edible plant species and fiielwood species. Few studies have been done on prehistoric Arctic plant use, and so this study intends to add to this nascent but growing field. By examining charcoal and macrofossil remains, this thesis is also intended to discover similarities and differences between the Thule and their modern Inupiat descendants in terms of plant and woody fuel use. Statistical tests and descriptive analyses indicate that plant foods contributed significant nutrition to the Thule diet at Cape Espenberg, that woody fuel was used heavily, and also actively conserved with the incorporation of alternative fuel sources such as bone and blubber. This exploratory study underscores the importance of plants in prehistoric Arctic economies, and the need for future research.

Examples of bone needle “cores” and needles crafted from large bird humeri are measured and microscopically examined to distinguish possible differences in tools and reduction techniques. Tool handles used to accomplish grooving, including “engraving tool handles,” as well as differences between iron and stone bits, are discussed. Archaeometric data, avian ecology, and ethnographic ac- counts are explored to investigate aspects of needle manufacture, the introduction of iron, and the potential relationships people had to these materials and objects. keywords: Avifauna, needles, bone, technology, Ipiutak, engraving introduction Grooving technologies, the processes by which organic In addition to the analysis of bird bone cores and the materials were divided and shaped, were frequently put to nature of bird bone itself, we consider the construction use by arctic and subarctic cultures.

    Plant Ecology of the Walakpa Bay Area, Alaska LOREN D. POTTER1 ABSTRACT. The Walakpa Bay archeological excavation site 18.4 km. southwest of Barrow, Alaska, is on the arctic coastal plain tundra. The use of native vegeta- tion for food is principally limited to leaves, as few species set fruit. Several species of foodplants function as pioneer plants on disturbedareas. Poa arctica was a dominant invading species of disturbed sites. Principal physiographic forms were analyzed for vegetational composition. RÉSUMÉ.

Le site de fouilles archéologiques de la baie de Walapka, à 18,4 km au sud de Barrow, Alaska, est située en toundra arctique,dans la plainecôtière. L'utilisation de la végétation naturelle comme nourriture se limiteprincipalement aux feuilles, car peu d'espèces fructifient.

Plant names (common, scientific and Iñupiaq) are provided as well as descriptions, pictures and traditional uses. The resources used for identification are listed below as well as other resources for information on plants. DISCLAIMER: This guide includes traditional uses of plants and other vegetation.

Neither the author nor the North Slope Borough claims that information in this guide will cure any illness. Just as prescription medicines can have different effects on individuals, so too can plants. Historically, medicinal plants were used only by skilled and knowledgeable people, such as traditional healers, who knew how to identify the plants and avoid misidentifications with toxic plants.
