TABLE 2. — Skeletal part frequency of dovekie remains from early and middle Thule occupations at Iita. L = Left, R = Right, n = indeterminate. Note that the NISP values differ from Table 1 as long bone elements and unidentified bone elements were not included in the calculation of skeletal part frequencies.
