Abstract

"This paper summarizes results of 1963 field work of the National Museum of Canada between Cape Parry and Cambridge Bay in arctic Canada. The artifacts and structures reported include materials of the Pre-Dorset, Dorset, Thule and recent Eskimo occupations at several localities in the area surveyed. The author refers to earlier field work, comments on regional variations in cultures represented in the report, documents a western extension of Dorset culture and offers hypotheses on the origins of the historic Caribou Eskimo and Copper Eskimo." -- page ii.
