Comments
HdGt-12, Kingaaluk 1: At the time of Harp's visit, nine Thule winter houses had been excavated or plundered. The Dorset site was undisturbed and represented both summer and winter occupations. Harp was uncertain of the reliability of the dates from this site, and he regarded SI-2129 as "suspiciously early" in view of its association with late Dorset artifacts.
