- Comments
- NiHa-1, Kaersut Island: This is a house ruin of the latest Dorset stage, the artifacts showing the influence of invading Thule people. K-504 should give the period of contact between two cultures, probably representing the end of the Dorset occupation of this area, and it should also indicate a time when sea level was about 6.5 m higher than at present.
