      Inuit Animal Use and Shifting Identities in 19th-Century Labrador: The Zooarchaeology of Snooks CoveThe archaeological site of Snooks Cove (GaBp-7), in Hamilton Inlet along the central coast of Labrador, has been confirmed as a place where multiple Inuit families resided from the late 18th through 19th centuries.

Analysis of the faunal remains recovered from two houses at this site provides a glimpse at how the Inuit inhabitants prioritized traditional animal use patterns, while actively participating in new intercultural exchanges, like the trapping and trading economy. This research demonstrates the dynamic nature of cultural continuity and changing identities, and further supports that zooarchaeology can contribute valuable insights into the varied Inuit responses to social and economic opportunities brought about by the increasingly permanent European presence in Labrador.
