Abstract
Abstract The analysis of use‐residues on tools using methods drawn from microscopy, biochemistry, radiocarbon dating and molecular biology results in information which can be at least as informative as excavation‐based reconstructions of past cultures. The analysis of a collection of tools from a now destroyed site in north‐western Canada yields species identification of the residues, the age and task association of the tools, and necessitates a change to the reconstruction of the subsistence and economy of the late prehistoric period in the region.
