Document Summary
Early palaeoeskimo (from denbigh flint to pre-dorset), examples of artifacts: Hole + tang harpoon shafts: earliest harpoonhead types in eastern arctic. Socket + foreshaft: the most common artifact found on sites. Technology changed very rapidly, which lead to a typology with a huge amount of variation. The benefit of this is that it makes it easier to identify certain periods by the artifacts. Blades (blade meaning the length is at least 2x the width) Independence 1, saqqaq, and pre-dorset are all examples of astt (arctic small tool tradition). What are the differences between pre-dorset and independence 1???! Pd has less developed expanded edge scrapers. Pd do not have tanged harpoon heads. 1500 year old carving of a face with tattoos (grooves) A wooden rib found from a watercraft, extremely rare to find. Still don"t know what the fuck it is. 80% of bones found are from seals heavy marine diet.
