Popis:	The study of prehistory in the North American Arctic suffers from epistemological problems that have been resolved by scholars in other areas. The predominance of normative theory and racial typology as the foundations of Arctic anthropology has confined research in large part to the pursuit of racial and cultural histories and seriously inhibited the generation of hypotheses that address questions of process in either cultural or biological adaptation. This paper aims to elucidate the constraints on anthropological archaeology in Arctic research and to draw attention to more productive approaches in biological anthropology, archaeology, and ethnology.
