These results suggest that population collapse during periods of contact is less a consequence of inferior technology or ability to withstand disease, but instead may reflect variation in the capacity for resilience when these instances introduce challenges to survival. This is well demonstrated by mortuary evidence for minor epidemics and dwindling population sizes. This high degree of isolation and specialization within the the Sadlermiut socioecological and cultural system likely reduced the capacity for resilience in response to European contact. Trinidad and Tobago is within the worldwide ranges of twenty eight cetacean. They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater. Maize, manico, and other plants, were cultivated in the same manner as on the. The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. Having a brief moment with a domesticated Opossum/Manicou. They imagined that the horse and the rider formed one animal. Isolation and intensification is demonstrated from the persistence of material culture including graves, lithic industries, and watercraft technology, while skeletal evidence for dental chipping and tooth wear, traumatic injuries, and degenerative joint conditions attest to the intensive lifestyle of these populations. THE MANICOU (Didelphis marsupialis) is an animal familiar to most citizens of Trinidad and Tobago. The Sadlermiut remained isolated from European until 1824 (unlike other Iniut). This chapter examines bioarchaeological evidence of resilience and specialization among the Sadlermiut, a population that existed in relative isolation from the Inuit and developed a unique variation of the Thule Culture.
