Thesis in French

Au cours du XIXe si\ècle et au d\ébut du XXe si\ècle, de nombreux explorateurs se sont rendus dans le nord-ouest du Groenland. Les Inughuits vivant dans cette r\égion de l\&$\#$39;Arctique se sont retrouv\és au coeur m\ême, durant cette p\ériode, d\&$\#$39;une s\érie de rencontres et de relations : dans un premier temps, les explorateurs ont \établi un premier contact et, par la suite, les anthropologues et les ethnologues se sont int\éress\és \à eux. Au cours de ces t\êtes \à t\êtes, une grande quantit\é d\&$\#$39;\écrits ont \ét\é produits. Toutefois, ces documents peignent un portrait fort contradictoire de ce peuple : d\&$\#$39;une part, les r\écits des explorateurs sont souvent tr\ès peu flatteurs, surtout sur le plan des pratiques hygi\éniques des habitants de cette r\égion, tandis que les ouvrages des anthropologues apportent une vision plus nuanc\ée de l\&$\#$39;hygi\ène des Inughuits. Cette contradiction que l\&$\#$39;on rel\ève dans la litt\érature, en ce qui touche \à la perception des pratiques hygi\éniques des Inughuits, n\&$\#$39;a jamais \ét\é \étudi\ée. Afin d\&$\#$39;\éclaircir la situation et apporter une r\éponse \à cette contradiction, il est propos\é d\&$\#$39;adopter une approche multidisciplinaire visant l\&$\#$39;\étude des ectoparasites d\&$\#$39;humains sur les sites d\&$\#$39;Iita, Cap Grinnell et Qaqaitsut. En combinant les r\ésultats arch\éoentomologiques \à l\&$\#$39;analyse de la tradition orale des Inughuits, il est possible d\&$\#$39;apporter un \éclairage nouveau sur les conditions de vie des humains du pass\é de ces sites.

This paper presents the results of archaeoentomological analyses of soil samples from early Thule (ca. AD 1200\–1400) winter-house remains at Cape Grinnell and Qaqaitsut, Northwest Greenland. Excavated over the summers of 2008 and 2009 by the Inglefield Land Archaeological Project (ILAP), four houses yielded 467 ectoparasites, mostly human lice, unevenly distributed across the identified areas of the structures. A recurring pattern of distribution was found in three of the houses and is interpreted as the result of delousing practices. Using historical explorer accounts, Inughuit oral tradition, and archaeoentomological evidence we investigate the potential for studying hygiene practices on Inuit sites.

This paper reviews archaeoentomolgical research in the North Atlantic region, which until relatively recently,\  was focused mainly on Norse and later farms in Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroes, providing insights into many aspects of daily life on these settlements as well as their impacts on the local environment. Conversely, little research had been undertaken\  on\  insect\  fossils\  from\  hunter-gatherer\  settlements,\  save\  a\  handful\  of\  investigations\  from\  deposits\  associated\  with Saqqaq sites in Western Greenland. Over the past decade, the scope of these studies has extended to encompass new territories, time periods, and research questions. Insect remains from Palaeo- and Neo-Eskimo sites in the eastern Canadian Arctic were examined for the first time, and previously unexamined Norse and later sites have revealed new applications for archaeoentomology. This emerging body of work demonstrates the potential and importance of the continued integration of archaeoentomology in archaeological projects
