- 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.
