Context
T2TUH, L3, 28cmbs, recovered from the front midden of a relatively light Neo-Inuit sod house
Comments
Feature likely front midden of cold-season house. A pre-13th century date for this feature is unlikely. It is possible material from Neo- and Paleo-Inuit contexts became mixed, as a large concentration of Paleo-Inuit features can be found roughly 100m east of the light T2 sod house. (It is not uncommon for Thule Inuit to have reoccupied Dorset Paleo-Inuit locales in the Eastern Arctic.)
