- Comments
- PaHb-1, Agleruuyaq: The few artifacts found suggest early Dorset, while the situation of the dated tent ring suggests an older age. Two Pre-Dorset tent rings occur to the north, and late prehistoric remains are located to the south and west. The date falls in the period of transition between Pre-Dorset and Dorset, in agreement with the shape of the dwelling which is itself transitional.
