Index

Dr. Priscilla Renouf, Canada Research Chair of North Atlantic Archaeology, has conducted research in Labrador, Newfoundland, Arctic Norway and Greenland. For the past several years her research has been situated in Port au Choix, northwestern Newfoundland, where she is reconstructing 5,500 years of human adaptation to a changing environment. Dr. Renouf co-founded an international research group, called LINK, which consists of a dozen archaeologists working in North Atlantic areas: Labrador, Greenland, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway. Their purpose is to integrate social and natural science research to address questions of how past human societies in the North Atlantic reacted to long- and short-term climate fluctuations. Dr. Renouf is committed to communicating the results of her research to the public as well as the academic community. She continues to achieve this through videos, exhibits, publications and public presentations.

From the book reviews:

"The volume is organised into fourteen chapters bracketed by an introduction and a conclusion written by Renouf ... . This volume is recommended for students of archaeology as a useful text on culture history, methodology, and ways of thinking about data sets. I recommend this volume to researchers for the model or template it provides when planning research programmes and setting research standards." (Marianne P. Stopp, Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal Canadien D'Archeologie, Issue 37, 2013)
