Establishing provenance for chert from southern Baffin Island: a multi-scalar approach (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel ten Bruggencate. S. Brooke Milne. Mostafa Fayek. Robert Park. Douglas Stenton.

Difficulties in physically or chemically distinguishing between chert from closely situated quarries have made a multi-scalar approach to chert provenance analysis necessary in some regions. We present the preliminary results of a multi-scalar chert provenance project focused on the eastern Canadian Arctic. On a regional scale, we examine ICP-MS trace element results for chert from two quarries and five archaeological sites on southern Baffin Island. Chert from the quarries and archaeological...

Palaeo-Eskimo exploitation of inland chert quarries on southern Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel ten Bruggencate. Brooke Milne. Mostafa Fayek. Robert Park. Douglas Stenton.

The southern Baffin Island chert sourcing project was initiated in 2007. Eight years of fieldwork and geochemical analysis have allowed us to refine our chert characterization technique and its instrumental application. We have successfully characterized two large chert quarries in the interior of southern Baffin Island using solution ICP-MS trace element analysis. We have also linked chert artifacts from one of these quarries to a nearby Palaeo-Eskimo occupation site, demonstrating transport...
