Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

If an area is perceived as marginal, it is often assumed that the history is too. Such has been the general assessment of the rocky and sparsely forested country of the eastern Subarctic. For a long time, scholars projected a rather dismal reading of this landscape into the past, with the effect that history was imagined as a struggle for survival, but otherwise uneventful. As a result, culture became adaptation and adaptation became history. It is difficult to reconcile this perspective with the archaeological record as it is now understood. Over the past few decades, an increasingly rich and complex picture has emerged from archaeological research in subarctic Québec and Labrador, and on the island of Newfoundland. It suggests that history here—rather than being the simple culmination of an environmentally appropriate calculus—was willed and crafted by people who were responding to changing social relations and social phenomena. With this in mind, this brief sketch of eastern Subarctic history aims to highlight the dynamic nature of social interactions through time.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
