- Abstract: In this study, ecological, historical, and archaeological data are utilized to reconstruct the role of avian resources in the diet of Beothuk people (500 to 150 B.P.) and their ancestors from the Newfoundland recent Indian period (2000 to 500 B.P.). Faunal records and site distribution patterns are consistent with historical accounts of hunter-gatherer bird and egg harvesting. Temporally and spatially predictable bird aggregations in Newfoundland (seabird colonies, moulting grounds, and migration resting areas) represent large sources of relatively easily obtainable meat that were consumed by hunter-gatherers during warm weather seasons and stored for winter use. Food storage (in the form of dried bird meat and powdered eggs) and transportation technologies (ocean-going canoes) enabled hunter- gatherer resource diversification within a relatively productive coastal ecosystem.

- Abstract: Dans cette étude, des données écologiques, historiques et archéologiques sont utilisées pour reconstruire l'importance des ressources aviennes dans la diète Béothuk (500 à 150 B.P.), ainsi que dans la diète de leurs ancêtres de la période indienne récente à terre-Neuve (2000 à 500 B.P.). les données zooarchéologiques ainsi que le modèle de distribution des sites archéologiques sont en accord avec les comptes-rendus concernant la collection d'oiseaux et d'oeufs par des groupes chasseurs-cueilleurs. Les agrégations aviennes qui sont temporellement et spatialement prédictibles à terre-Neuve (colonies d'oiseaux de mer, lieux de mue et endroits de repos en route de migration) représentent de grandes sources de protéines relativement facile à obtenir et possiblement appropriés par les chasseurs-cueilleurs durant l'été et sauvegardés pour l'hiver. La provision de nourriture (sous forme de viande asséchée et d'oeufs en poudre) et la technologie de transport (utilisation de canoës pour accès aux iles) a permis à la diversification des ressources pour les chasseurs-cueilleurs demeurant à proximité d'un littoral relativement productif.
