摘要

The geoarchaeological study of the Palaeoeskimo Tayara site on Qikirtaq Island (Nunavik) has led to a better understanding of archaeological site formation in the arctic periglacial environment. The surrounding geomorphology (extra-site) is characterized by fine-grained, low plastic and leached postglacial glaciomarine sediments that have been reworked by sheet-like solifluction. This process buried the northern part of the Tayara site with mean annual rates between 1.68 and 2.86cm/yr over approximately 350 years (1330-980 yr B.P.). The physicochemical and mineralogical properties of the frost-susceptible glaciomarine sediments may explain their susceptibility to solifluction. This process was probably enhanced by longer thawing periods or warmer/moister summer months that induced active layer thickening or rapid soil thawing. The dates we obtained in the downstream valley show that solifluction occurred during short warm periods in the Late Holocene between ca. 1500 and 1000 yr B.P., after 1000 yr B.P. (or after 500 yr B.P.) and recently (90-60 yr B.P). Our data provide insights on the site factors and climate factors that govern site burial by solifluction. Solifluction promoted the preservation of the three superposed archaeological levels in the Tayara site; however, the waterlogging of the site related to solifluction also likely caused the subsequent abandomnent of the site by the Palaeoeskimo people.

(或B.P. 500年后)和最近(B.P. 90-60年)。我们的数据提供了关于通过固溶作用控制现场埋葬的现场因素和气候因素的见解。固结促进了Tayara遗址三个重叠考古水平的保存;然而,与固溶有关的地点的涝灾也可能导致随后的古希腊人放弃了该地点。 (C)2008 Wiley期刊公司
