  • Tooth-Tool Use and Yarn Production in Norse Greenland
    TOOTH -TOOL USE AND YARN PRODUCTION IN NORSE GREENLAND G. Richard Scott University of Nevada Reno, Department of Anthropology/MS 096, Reno, NV 89557; [email protected] Ruth Burgett Jolie Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico ABSTRACT During a dental study of medieval Norse skeletons from Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, a distinct pattern of wear was observed on twenty-two anterior teeth of twelve Greenlanders. Further examina- tion revealed that cultural notches were limited almost exclusively to settlement-period Greenlandic females interred at Thjodhild’s church ad( 1000–1150). The most likely explanation for this patterned wear revolves around the manner in which females manipulated woolen thread on their maxillary in- cisors and canines during the production of a coarse woolen cloth (frieze) that was generated in large amounts during the early medieval period for local consumption and export to Europe. keywords: teeth, abrasion, wool INTRODUCTION Anthropologists have long studied normal crown wear to As the most directly visible aspect of the skeletal sys- evaluate the diet and dietary behavior of earlier human tem, teeth are also subject to the vagaries of human cultur- populations (Hinton 1981, 1982; Kieser et al. 2001; Molnar al behavior (cf.

  • Panama & Colombia
    PANAMA & COLOMBIA EXPLORING THE CARIBBEAN COAST A UNIQUELY IN-DEPTH CANAL TRANSIT EXPERIENCE TWO OF THE MOST BIODIVERSE COUNTRIES ON EARTH REWARDING ENCOUNTERS WITH THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE 2021-2022 | EXPEDITIONS.COM Cover: Young mantled howler monkey. © Shutterstock. Above: Guna Yala sunset. © Kike Calvo DEAR TRAVELER, Since the inception of Lindblad Expeditions, we’ve sailed our ships through the Panama Canal and along the region’s wild coast. I’ve always yearned to go even further. Now, thanks to our expanding fleet, we’re able to explore more of this rewarding region, and we have the perfect ship–the 50-cabin National Geographic Quest. The first time we sailed National Geographic Quest through the Panama Canal, our expedition leader gleefully reported back that the top deck of National Geographic Quest turns out to be the perfect height to observe the lock mechanisms at eye level. In fact, the ship gets so close to the locks that we can hear the workers casually chatting back and forth as they lead us through. Compare this to the way most travelers will experience the Canal—enclosed inside a cruise ship, passing binoculars back and forth to get a glimpse of how these historic locks work. Our transit of the Panama Canal is compelling for other reasons, as well. We make the transit over two days, so you can see the inner workings of the locks by day, and dramatically lit at night—enabling you to stand on deck and experience the canal on a tropical evening. It also leaves us time to experience the wildness of the Canal Zone—a surprise to many travelers.
