The contents of these structures have played a pivotal role in modelling developments in Thule settlement and subsistence behaviour. Reconstructions of Thule subsistence behaviour continue to be based primarily on the analysis of faunal assemblages; however few studies have recognized the interpretive limitations imposed by successional use of Thule winter house ruins and related structures. Through a discussion of site formation processes as they pertain to faunal remains in Thule winter houses, we argue that certain inferences concerning Thule settlement and subsistence behaviour are based on uncritical interpretations of the faunal data. Directions for future research in this area are outlined.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
