	abstract = {The Frobisher Voyages (1576-1578) present one of the most interesting opportunities for integrated historical anthropological and archaeological studies in the Quincentennial era. While the history of this earliest English enterprise on the soil of the New World is well known, its archaeological and ethnographic aspects have received cursory treatment. This paper reviews the history of research, dwelling particularly upon recent interdisciplinary work on the Frobisher settlements and mines and archeometric studies of the early-dating Frobisher iron blooms. Results of recent surveys conducted in outer Frobisher Bay in 1990 are presented. Finally, a plan coordinated with the Canadian Steering Committee for Frobisher research is presented for forthcoming studies in history and oral history, historical archaeology, European-Inuit acculturation, and environmental research.}

	title = {Developmental aspects of Labrador Maritime Archaic social and mortuary systems: an example of marine-related cultural intensification},
	year = {1981},
	address = {Edmonton},
	abstract = {Recent archaeological work in Labrador has resulted in long-sought-after settlement data for Maritime Archaic cultures which occupied this region 7500-3500 years ago. Previous information on the development of these cultures has come from the field of technology, subsistence, culture area distribution, and mortuary and exchange systems. By themselves, these data suggested that Maritime Archaic culture was technologically and socially advanced compared with later prehistoric and ethnographic groups of the coastal northeast. Recent discoveries strengthen this view and provide our first clues about social organization and demography as revealed by site settlement patterns and domestic architecture. Changes in site size and complexity and in the size of dwelling structures through time suggests shifts from simple to larger and more complex forms of social organization, and are in turn related to intensification of mortuary patterns and increased movement of exotic materials. These changes are discussed together with local and regional environmental and culture history. The new data provide a more secure basis for supporting and understanding developmental processes in Maritime Archaic culture and their distinctions from later Indian groups of the far northeast. Comparisons are drawn to northwest coast and other cultures and speculation is offered on some of the factors that may be involved.}

	title = {Houses, Mounds, and Monuments: The Maritime Archaic As Seen From Outer Space},
	year = {2002},
	address = {Ottawa},
	abstract = {The Maritime Archaic culture left a permanent and record of their 4000 year history in Labrador in the form of large stone caches, burial mounds, houses, and caribou drives. In addition to leaving a tangible and highly visible mark on the land, they also incorporated landscapes into their worldview, belief systems, and artifacts through the positioning of sites and monuments with respect to dramatic geographic features from which they drew inspiration and spiritual power. This paper reviews the geotactic inclinations of an ancient seafaring people as it could be interpreted by a landscape archaeologist from outer space.}

	year = {1992},
	address = {London},
	abstract = {In 1968, seeking advice on a graduate paper featuring the Dorset-Thule transition, the author sent a copy to Bill Taylor for review and comment. In retrospect the response was predictable {\textendash} vigorous, thoughtful, witty, and provocative {\textendash} and set the tone for a stim-ulating personal relationship of twenty-five years standing. Taylor{\textquoteright}s comment concluded: {\textquoteright}I suggest you have the paper read by others, for it may contain an article well worth publishing {\textendash} I am too predisposed to its basic thinking to be a good judge of that [but] ... most arctic types would probably recommend the deletion of most of the theoretical and methodological content.{\textquoteright} Unfortunately, though I have shared the paper with a number of others, I never got around to taking up Taylor{\textquoteright}s challenge of publication. Today the Dorset-Thule transition remains one of the most puzzling subjects in Eastern Arctic prehistory, despite advances in many other areas. The problem remains resistant to study and has received few contributions in the literature. Since much of the substance from the original paper has never appeared elsewhere in print, it is high time to take up Taylor{\textquoteright}s challenge and present a publishable version accounting for Taylor{\textquoteright}s unique contributions, his critique of the original draft, contributions by other scholars, and new field data.}

	title = {ARCHAEOLOGY OF A THULE VILLAGE IN NORTHERN LABRADOR},
	year = {1991},
	address = {St.John{\textquoteright}s},
	abstract = {The Thule period and its relationships to Dorset and late Indian occupations of central and northern Labrador is an important but little known period in Labrador prehistory. Large populations and strong cultural, economic, and ethnic contrasts characterize this period, which led directly to the establishment of modern Inuit and Innu populations and laid the foundation for the historical period. While Late Dorset, Point Revenge, and historic Inuit cultures are well-described, the Thule period has not been given sufficient attention. This paper presents information from recent Thule excavations on Staffe Island in the Killinek region in the context of other Labrador Thule data and proposes an interaction model for the period AD 1000-1500 leading to the modern era.}

	title = {Archaeologioal Reconnaissance in Hamilton Inlet and Lake Melville, Labrador, 1968},
	year = {1969},
	address = {Toronto},
	abstract = {The initial field season of a planned two-year study of the archaeology of the central coast of Labrador has been completed. Aided by air-photo interpretation a survey of the transitional zone from the forested interior to the barren coast has resulted in recognition of a dual series of Indian and Eskimo components. At North West River small Indian sites spanning a period of about three thousand years have been excavated, and a five-stage sequence of occupation has been proposed. Surveys in Groswater Bay (Hamilton Inlet) suggest amplification of the NWR data to include an older unit using ground slate tools and late prehistoric unit which may represent prehistoric Naskaupi. Eskimo remains include recent historic sites within eastern Lake Melville, and a fine sequence of 16th-18th Century winter sites in the Narrows. Labrador Thule culture was not found but probably exists in the outer reaches of Groswater Bay. Finally, a series of small Dorset campsites was found on Ticoralak Island, indicating a regional variant of this culture with several new Dorset types represented. Very little evidence was found suggesting contact between Eskimo and Indian groups for any of this period. Dorset and Indian cultures contemporaneous with it are distinctly different in technology, typology, and geographic distribution. Other points to be discussed include a possible hiatus of Eskimo occupation between Dorset and Thule times, distributional evidence for several of the Indian components, and comments on cultural ecology and lithic analysis.}

	year = {1996},
	address = {Halifax},
	abstract = {In 1990 a proposal for archaeological studies at the Kodlunarn Island site in outer Frobisher Bay, the site of Martin Frobisher{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteright}gold{\textquoteright} mines of 1576-78, initiated the development of a large research programme on the history, remains and consequences of Frobisher{\textquoteright}s voyages and mines in the New World. In addition to archaeology, the project included Inuit oral history, archival studies, environmental sciences and geology. This paper deals with community aspects of the MIP project: local interest, permissions, educational values, research training, museum issues, publicity, tourism and economic impacts, and residual effects. Although organized as a research project, perspectives from the MIP may be useful in thinking about the role of research as a component of large-scale development and mining programmes elsewhere in the North, and their impacts on local communities.}

	year = {1976},
	address = {Winnipeg},
	abstract = {In 1974 and 1975 a Maritime Archaic cemetery was excavated at Rattlers Bight, Hamilton Inlet, Labrador. The burial site is associated with a large habitation settlement which has been excavated at the same location. Both date to the period ca 4000-3800 B.P. Excavation results include a tool assemblage similar to that obtained at the living site. Ritual specialization of grave goods is not indicated. Poor preservation of organic remains limits extensive comparison with Port-au-Cboix, but preliminary conclusions suggest significant differences between Rattlers Bight and other Moorehead or Maritime Archaic cemetery couplexes. Some of these differences indicate that regionalism in burial traditions cross-cuts certain long-range similarities in tool class types and burial form. Study of this variation should facilitate understanding of relationships between regional groups as well as providing insight into the role of burial customs in these societies.}
