Abstract

Bone and antler industries from northern Yukon Kutchin sites are compared with recently excavated Inuit material from the Kugaluk site in the Mackenzie Delta area. A number of basic procedural similarities are noted, but specific differences seem more striking, and may reflect different technological traditions. Technological analysis seems to support the orthodox model of strong boundary maintenance between major ethnic groups is northwestern Canada.

Résumé

Les industries Kutchin d'os et de corne, dans le nord du Yukon, sont comparés avec le materiel archéologique Inuit du site Kugaluk dans de Delta du Mackenzie. Certaines ressemblances au niveau de la production sont notées, mais les différences sont frappantes et indiquent probablement des traditions technologiques distinctes. L'analyse technologique semble soutenir le modèle orthodoxe de frontières ethniques distincts entre groupes du nord-ouest du Canada.
