Abstract
There is a long history of abandonment of the island of Newfoundland by its Indigenous peoples. The Maritime Archaic were the first to colonize Newfoundland, situated in North America Subarctic islands, around 6,500 years ago and the first to abandon it around 3,000 years later; however, their reason for leaving remains largely unknown. Because it took place when there were no other cultural competitors on the island, it presumably was significantly influenced by environmental changes during that period. The surrounding marine environment was changing due to decreasing ocean temperatures and increasing distribution and duration of sea ice, and the island’s interior has never been economically viable over the long term. Newfoundland Archaic groups persisted for millennia but ultimately were unable to sustain their way of life on the island and abandoned it for the mainland where there were more economic opportunities away from the coast. This research relies on environmental proxy data from regional sea cores, biogeography of marine and terrestrial resources, and archaeological data from Maritime Archaic sites to better understand and provide a historical ecology for the context and processes associated with their resilience and their eventual abandonment of the island. This chapter will also discuss how knowledge of these processes impacts our interpretations of subsequent abandonments of the island, the challenge of sustainability by its peoples, and their relationship with environmental change.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
