- Comments
- Kamaiyuk 1, KfDe-5: This is the largest protohistoric Inuit site on Countess of Warwick Sound (Gullason, 1999; Henshaw, 2003). Its main features include three large bilobate semi-subterranean structures, one single-lobe semi-subterranean structure, two half-eroded semi-subterranean structures on the northeast bank of the site, five heavily constructed tent rings, and one cobble stone cache. These features overlie rich Palaeoeskimo midden deposits.
