- IdCq-22, Shuldham Island 9: Tent ring 1 contains mainly late Dorset tools along with some Groswater, Middle Dorset, and a few Neoeskimo artifacts. The House 2 midden is transitional between Middle and Late Dorset. Houses 1 and 2 and the House 1 midden are ascribed to Late Dorset. Beta-2408 and Beta-2410 may represent Neoeskimo occupation. Faunal remains reported by Thomson (1988) are not separated by component and are not listed in this data base.
