Record #110953:

Land use and resource exploitation in the Norse Western Settlement in Greenland / Karen Marie Bojsen Christensen.

Title: Land use and resource exploitation in the Norse Western Settlement in Greenland / Karen Marie Bojsen Christensen.
Author(s): Christensen, Karen Marie Bojsen.
Date: 1991.
In: Acta Borealia. (1991.), Vol. 8(1) (1991)
Abstract: Investigation focused on resource basis of eight smaller farmsteads lying in Kapisilik and Tummeralik valleys, with particular reference to areas which were available for pasture and winter fodder collection. Includes analyses of vegetational data and of feeding value and carrying capacity. Caribou and seal bone finds from middens of inland and coastal farms show unexpected "inverse" quantitative distribution in relation to natural biotope of animals. Indicates some kind of exchange system (which was not only of economic but also of social character) between inland area and coast.
