Abstract

Reports on a Dorset Eskimo site discovered by Henoch, qv. Architectural features of the dwelling and the artifacts collected are described. The large size of the stone tools (illus), and lack of some customary Dorset facts are unusual. The site is on the western periphery of the known range of Dorset culture, and further work may elucidate Dorset-Alaskan relationships.
