In view of the interest generated by Mr Case's article (1969, 176–86) and subsequent discussion (1970, 105–14), Mr Wilkinson felt that this might be the proper time to introduce the Musk Ox to prehistorians in its new role as a domesticated animal, and make brief reference to some of the other experiments of a large body of useful data which remain largely untapped by archaeologists. Mr Wilkinson, a research student in the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology in the University of Cambridge, also holds the post in the University of Alaska of Associate Director of Research for the Institute of Northern Agricultural Research, which is responsible for the domestication of the musk ox. He wishes to point out that the principal aim of this project is to develop a textile industry based on ‘qiviut,’ the wool of the musk ox, and thus to better the economic situation of the people of the arctic.
