Preliminary Geomorphological Study of a Newly Discovered Dorset Culture Site on Melville Island, N.W.T.

Аннотация

Describes a prehistoric dwelling found at McCormick Inlet in 1962. Location of the site at 1.75 m above high water and its age, estimated at 1150-1740 yr from radiocarbon dating of moss, indicate negligible land emergence during the last one and a half millennia. Prehistoric sites recorded by other explorers on the island are also noted and mapped.
