Comments
SgFq-1, Haa Island: GSC-2981 confirms the general impression that House 10 was occupied very late in the Thule culture period. House 24 is one of the few structures on the site pertaining to relatively early Thule occupation. House 19 was tested to reveal a collapsed roof structure of whale ribs, sod and heather, but water seepage prevent further work shortly after the floor level was reached in one small area.
