Record #175765:

The economics of sheep and goat husbandry in Norse Greenland / Ingrid Mainland, Paul Halstead.

Title: The economics of sheep and goat husbandry in Norse Greenland / Ingrid Mainland, Paul Halstead.
Author(s): Mainland, Ingrid.
Halstead, Paul.
Date: 2005.
In: Arctic Anthropology. (2005.), Vol. 42(1) (2005)
Abstract: Examines adult ovicaprine mandibles in faunal assemblages from three Norse farmsteads to determine relative importance of sheep and goat herding and of economic significance of each species. Notes significance of broader use of resources and more varied diet evident at larger Greenland farmsteads, suggesting that sites would have been better able than smaller counterparts to withstand climate deterioration in early Middle Ages.
