Archaeology of the Frobisher voyages: early European-Inuit contact studies and prehistoric settlement pattern surveys
Principal Investigator: Fitzhugh, William
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: As the final year in a four year study, the team of American and Canadian archaeologists and geologists will survey the outer Frobisher Bay region for sites that were occupied by Inuit at the time of the Frobisher expeditions (1576-1578). The data collected may determine what kinds of contact occurred between early English explorers and miners and the Inuit of the area. Licence issued for use of...

Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula interior archaeology project
Principal Investigator: Swayze, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will conduct a series of short visits to areas with specific characteristics to determine if these areas have sites containing artifacts dating back thousands of years. If an older site is located, the researcher will document information about the site in order that further investigations at a later date can be conducted. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....

Lower Mackenzie Valley archaeological survey and Arctic Red River archaeological excavation
Principal Investigator: Nolin, Luc
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researchers will conduct archaeological surveys and excavations at seven locations along the Mackenzie River: six sites will be surveyed and the seventh site, located at the confluence of the Arctic and Mackenzie Rivers, will be excavated. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....

Amadjuak Lake archaeological project
Principal Investigator: Stenton, Douglas R.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991
Summary: In this third season of the project, the researchers will collect information on summer and autumn land use on southern Baffin Island during the late prehistoric period. Information collected will include data on travel routes that people followed to interior hunting and fishing grounds, characteristics of the campsites and information on family/party size....

NOGAP archaeology project: Arctic section
Principal Investigator: Morrison, David
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher will excavate two closely-allied sites, the Rita-Claire and Bison Skull sites, in order to examine the history and economy of pre-contact Inuvialuit. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....

Use of Fossil Plants and Shells to Infer Past Climate
Principal Investigator: Marino, Bruno D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will sample plants and shells containing records of the stable isotopic composition of the constituents in the environment that are used for growth. The natural abundance of the stable isotopes of carbon in atmospheric CO2 and in dissolved groundwater as well as the hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in water can be related to climatic factors. Thus, these isotope ratios in shells and p...

Holocene Bowhead Whale (Balaena mysticetus) Skeletal Morphometrics and Taxonomy in the Eastern Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Savelle, James M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will take a series of measurements on crania and mandibles of naturally stranded early Holocene bowhead whales. This will enable the original length of individual bowheads at death to be determined. These data will have immediate applications in the fields of environmental change and Thule archaeology....

Tungatsivvik Archaeological Project
Principal Investigator: Stenton, Douglas R.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The researchers will engage in field training for northern post-secondary students enrolled in Arctic College's Environmental Technology Program. This will provide northern students and other interested individuals opportunities to become actively involved in the investigation of eastern Arctic Inuit culture through a community-based project....

Fossil and Modern Coleopteran Ecology in Arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Morgan, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will collect sediment samples. Insect fossils will be extracted and analysed. The insect communities recovered will provide an indication of the climatic conditions in the area at the time the sediments were deposited. The age of the sediments will be determined with radiocarbon or other dating methods....
