- Author / Creator
- Will, Richard T.

Doctoral thesis which adopts an approach designed by Binford to examine how muskoxen were exploited by the Copper Inuit who lived on northern Banks Island during the nineteenth century. A set of food value indices are developed for muskox anatomical parts, which are used to predict how the carcasses of these animals were exploited at three archaeological sites.
