The History of Palaeoeskimo Archaeology in Newfoundland __ Read the story about the research. "The last one hundred and twenty years of palaeoeskimo research in Newfoundland has evolved, perhaps as all subject matter does, from an initial speculative stage to a level where data is accumulated and loosely interpreted, and consequently to a level where this information is synthesized under the auspices of more general theoretical frameworks." - From Lisa M. Fogt - http://www.nfmuseum.com/palaeo.htm
Lecture Notes Week Eight: Anthropology 3291 __ "The following case studies,

partnership, sacred sites, and Aboriginal land rights." Much of the material
relates to Newfoundland & Labrador - From Memorial University of Newfoundland -

Newfoundland Archaeological Heritage Outreach Program __ Not much more I can
say. "Local development of archaeological sites is an unusual model in North
America, but there are many such projects in Newfoundland. The Newfoundland
Archaeological Heritage Outreach Program helps community groups involved in site
development by providing access to information about archaeological artifacts
and cultures, conservation, and site interpretation." Also includes a FAQ. -

Women in Newfoundland Archaeology __ "Archaeological research has expanded in the past few years to incorporate gender issues in its advancement as a discipline. The acknowledgment of feminism and women's contributions to archaeological study and development has initiated papers which have attempted to present archaeology in a more gender inclusive way. Traditional gender stereotypes are slowly being replaced by a more specific awareness of women's achievements within North American as well as global archaeology."
