Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the architectural remains associated with the Palaeoeskimo occupations of the Central Canadian Low Arctic. Palaeoeskimos inhabited this area for approximately 4,000 years which have be divided by archeologists have identified nine chrono-cultural periods: Early Palaeoeskimo (Pre-Dorset, Transitional Pre-Dorset/Dorset, Lagoon, and Groswater) and Late Palaeoeskimo (Early, Middle, Late, and Terminal Dorset, as well as Choris). While the validity of these divisions remains contentious, research throughout the region has documented significant architectural variability within and between these cultural groups. This paper proposes a typological system for the description and organization of the architectural remains currently reported in order to facilitate renewed discussion of the underlying causes of Palaeoeskimo architectural variability.
Résumé
Cet article présente une synthèse des vestiges architecturaux paléoesquimaux du Bas Arctique central canadien. Les Paléoesquimaux habitèrent cette région pendant environ 4 000 ans découpés par les archéologues en neuf périodes chrono-culturelles: le Paléoesquimau ancien (Prédorsétien, Transition prédorsétienne/dorsétienne, Lagoon et Groswatérien) et le Paléoesquimau récent (Dorsétien ancien, moyen, récent et terminal, ainsi que le Choris). Bien que la validité de ces divisions reste contentieuse, les recherches dans cette région ont documenté une importante variabilité architecturale parmis ces groupes culturels. Cet article propose un système typologique décrivant et organisant les vestiges architecturaux signalés jusqu'à ce jour afin de susciter de nouvelles discussions concernant les causes de la variabilité architecturale paléoesquimaude.
