Springer - The Cultural Landscapes of Port au Choix Book

Explore the history of northwestern Newfoundland through this detailed archaeological study. Located where arctic and temperate regions meet, Port au Choix served as a home to multiple distinct groups for thousands of years. This book examines how two Amerindian and two Paleoeskimo cultural traditions occupied this unique geographic area. Based on two decades of research from The Port au Choix Archaeology Project, this work provides a comparative look at how these diverse populations lived. It investigates how each culture adapted to shifting physical and social environments while leaving a lasting impact on their surroundings. Readers will learn about the historical trajectories of these hunter-gatherer groups and the ways they shaped the landscapes they inhabited. This text is an essential resource for those interested in the complex history of precontact populations in Canada.
