Preface<br />
This glossary has been prepared as a resource for Interpreter/Trans<strong>la</strong>tors who may be<br />
required to trans<strong>la</strong>te materials <strong>de</strong>aling with the prehistory and history of Arctic North<br />
America, as well as a primer for northern stu<strong>de</strong>nts interested in the science of<br />
archaeology. An attempt has been ma<strong>de</strong> to <strong>de</strong>fine the main terms used in technical<br />
and aca<strong>de</strong>mic papers <strong>de</strong>aling with archaeology and re<strong>la</strong>ted subject matters.<br />
Descriptions have also been inclu<strong>de</strong>d for certain of the more common artifacts<br />
recovered from Arctic archaeology sites.<br />
I would like to thank Dr. Robert W. Park, University of Waterloo, for his constructive<br />
comments on an early draft of the glossary, and Dr. Susan Sammons, Nunavut Arctic<br />
College, for the opportunity to contribute to the Interpreter/Trans<strong>la</strong>tor Program<br />
<strong>Glossary</strong> Series.<br />
