Objective(s): The objective of this research is to obtain information on traditional Dene hunting and food preservation techniques. This work is part of the researcher's Ph.D. dissertation research. This information is relevant for understanding the role that storage plays in choosing subsistence and mobility strategies, as well as aiding in archaeological interpretations of the minimum requirements necessary for storage behaviours at high latitude regions.
