Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary faunal analysis of the DIA.4 Dorset site, located on Diana Island, Diana Bay, in Arctic Quebec. Study of the stratigraphic distribution of the bone material suggests multiple occupation of the site. Also, spatial distributions of the various animal species present demonstrate a succession of seasonal occupations and indicate an annual cycle of resource exploitation in the region.
