New publication: Diversity in Labrador Inuit sled dog diets

MUN Archaeology alumni Alison Harris, current doctoral student Deirdre Elliott and faculty members Drs. Lisa Rankin, Peter Whitridge and Vaughan Grimes have recently co-authored Diversity in Labrador Inuit sled dog diets: Insights from δ13C and δ15N analysis of dog bone and dentine collagen published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.

The authors, with others, use stable isotope analysis to reconstruct Labrador Inuit sled dog provisioning along the Labrador coast between the 15th and early 19th centuries.
