Role of the sable fur trade in the economy of 17-th century Siberia on the basis of fur tribute and fur tithe returns from the region of most intensive hunting from the 1620s-1680s, when hunting by Russians was banned. He compares the dynamics
of sable hunting in Mangazeya and Yakutsk Counties and in Yeniseysk and Ilimsk Counties. The value of the fur catch was three to four times greater than that of the grain harvest, but fur trading was more rapacious and less long-lasting than farming.

Archaeology ; Canada ; Climatic change ; Eighteenth Century ; Hunting ; Inuit ; Labrador ; Little ice age ; Sea ice ; Seasonality ; Seventeenth Century ; Subsistence economy
subsistence economy. The site’s inhabitants practiced a very consistent mode of hunting throughout this time period, depending heavily on adult ringed seals taken on the fast ice in winter and spring. Juvenile ringed seals, taken at the ice edge in the spring
were a secondary resource. The consistent pattern of hunting through time suggests that the impacts of climatic variability on Inuit subsistence in the Nain region were relatively limited, moderated by their capacity for mobility on the sea ice rather
than by wholescale changes in hunting practices and species choice.
