- Comments
- KkDo-3, Tungatsivvik: More than 100 features have been identified at this site, including Thule dwellings, food caches, kayak stands, and burials. Stenton comments that the five dates from this site confirm that it was occupied during all phases of the Thule era, ca. AD 1000-1700. The earliest component produced dates from the Classic Thule period (12th and 13th centuries AD), and yielded diagnostic artifacts similar to those found at the Classic Crystal II site near Iqaluit. The radiocarbon estimates and artifactual evidence are also in agreement for later occupations, during the Developed and Late Thule periods.
