Comments
NlRu-1, Iglulualuit: This is a large Neoeskimo site with at least 30 houses along 800 m of coast. Concerning RIDDL-543, D.A. Morrison comments that the dated artifact, an antler tool fragment, is not very diagnostic and is the only object recovered from Le Blanc's (1987) House 12. A small collection made by R.M. Anderson around 1912, as well as material excavated in 1987, do support a late prehistoric date for the site (Morrison, 1990: 107), thus making this date perfectly acceptable. Fauna: Aves, Lagopus sp, Somateria mollissima, Aythya valisineria, Anas acuta, Melanitta deglandi, Branta bernicla, Anser albifrons, Chen caerulescens, Larus hyperboreus, Aquila chrysaetos, Cygnus sp, Stercorarius longicaudus, Stercorarius parasiticus, Gavia arctica, Nyctea scandiaca, Scolopacidae
