Publisher's Synopsis

Two late precontact/early contact Inuvialuit (Inuit) archaeological sites in the western Canadian Arctic offer glimpses into the autumn trek of the Inuvialuit away from the coast to procure caribou meat, hides, and other materials. A detailed study of the caribou bones found at these sites offers a better understanding of this poorly known aspect of Inuvialuit life and of the strengths and weaknesses of current methods of zooarchaeological analysis.

About the Publisher

Canadian Museum of History

The Press traces its origins to 1915, when Edmond Meany's Governors of Washington, Territorial and State was issued. The first book to bear the University of Washington Press imprint, an edition of The Poems of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey edited by Frederick M. Padelford, appeared in 1920. Since that time the Press has published approximately 4,400 books, of which about 1,400 are currently in print. Today we publish about seventy new titles each year. From the beginning the Press has reflected the University's major academic strengths. Building on those strengths, combined with a vigorous creativity in developing regional partners, the University of Washington Press has achieved recognition as the leading publisher of scholarly books and distinguished works of regional nonfiction in the Pacific Northwest.
