Comments
LeHv-1, Kamarvik: Three permanent house clusters, about 800 m apart, represent the Thule period. GaK-2748, from the southernmost cluster, fits well within this period, and all six houses in this cluster are considered to date to about the same time. The date indicates contemporaneity with Igluligardjuk (KiJi-3) and Silumiut (KkJg-1). Whether the other two Kamarvik house clusters are of the same age cannot be determined from these data, but they are Thule features.
