	Parks Canada - Port au Choix National Historic Site of Canada - Dorset Paleoeskimo
		The Dorset Paleoeskimo is also an Arctic culture which expanded southwards and reached Labrador around 2500 years and arrived on the island of Newfoundland approximately 500 years later.
		In Newfoundland and Labrador the Dorset Paleoeskimo refers to a later group of Paleoeskimos that followed the Groswater Paleoeskimo in time.
		However, it is generally accepted that the Dorset Paleoeskimo lived at Port au Choix from 2000 to 1300 years B.P. and occupied the Phillip's Garden Site.

	Brooman Point Village
		Brooman Point Village is an archaeological site located at the tip of a long peninsula that extends from the eastern coast of BATHURST ISLAND in the High Arctic.
		The site shows traces of Paleoeskimo occupations between about 2000 BC and 1 AD, but the major prehistoric settlement occurred from about 900 to 1200 AD.
		Archaeological excavations have revealed the presence of a late DORSET Paleoeskimo village.

	sv-arkeologi - Forskningsprosjekter
		Studies of how modern hunter-gatherer sites are formed (Figure 3) can be used as analogies for patterns observed in the archaeological record and can serve to evaluate the various premises that we use (often incorrectly) to draw behavioural inferences from the archaeological material.
		The early Paleoeskimo people seem to have used only tent dwellings, while the later Paleoeskimos used both tents and semi-subterranean winter houses.
		The distribution of tools and flakes illustrates the tendency for a bilateral pattern and one of the re-fits of broken tools shows the movement of an implement between the central feature and the lateral areas (the circles indicate k-means clusters of tools).

	Echoes from the Past
		The human occupation of Nunavik can be divided into two main chronological periods: the Paleoeskimo period (from 4 000 to 1 000 years before the present) and the Neo-Eskimo period (from 1 300 years before the present to the historic period).
		In Quebec, the Paleoeskimos were represented by the Pre-Dorset and Dorset populations.
		About 3 000 years after the Paleoeskimos arrived in the territory, a new group, the Neo-Eskimos, began to spread out from Alaska and move rapidly towards the east.

		Most historians also identify the coast of Baffin Island with the Helluland described in Norse sagas, so it is possible that the inhabitants of the region had occasional contact with Norse sailors.
		For more information on the earliest inhabitants and explorers of Nunavut, see Paleoeskimo, Neoeskimo and Helluland.
		The recorded history of Nunavut began in 1576.

	Dorset Soapstone Quarry - About The Quarry - Introduction
		The quarried blocks were used for bowls and lamp by the Paleoeskimos between 1100 and 1600 years ago.
		It has been determined that many of the soapstone vessel artifact samples from Paleoeskimo habitation sites along the Labrador coast have had their origin in Fleur de Lys.
		The Fleur de Lys soapstone quarry is the largest known soapstone outcrop in the Arctic that preserves evidence of Paleoeskimo vessel quarrying.

	Arctic Culture (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Their stone harpoon tips, arrowheads, and knives were so small (some barely one inch long) that archaeologists refer to the culture as the Arctic Small Tool tradition.
		The culture of the first people to reach northeastern Greenland and the High Arctic is called "Independence I" by archaeologists, named after the fjord on which their remains were first found.
		Nearly simultaneously, a second wave of Paleoeskimos wandered southward into the animal-rich Foxe Basin and along the shores of Hudson Strait.

	Bache Peninsula Archaeological Sites
		The sites were occupied about 4200 years ago by hunting bands believed to have originated from northeast Asia and Alaska.
		Remains of Paleoeskimo seasonal hunting camps have been found in northern interior valleys and on raised marine terraces along the south and central coast of the Island.
		Artifacts include small, finely made stone tools of the Arctic Small Tool tradition and artistic carvings from the late DORSET period.

		Northern Labrador has been occupied over the past 4000 years by paleoeskimo cultures who have adapted to these harsh environmental conditions.
		As more sites are excavated in the Eastern Arctic, archaeologists see how in the course of this period different groups have chosen some similar adaptations, while continually making modifications to these technologies.
		The earliest paleoeskimo sites in Labrador date to 4500 B.P. By 2500 B.P. a new culture emerges as is evident from house forms, artifact types, and raw material use.

	Arctic Studies Center - Staff - William Fitzhugh - Director
		His archaeological and environmental research has focused upon the prehistory and paleoecology of northeastern North America, and broader aspects of his research feature the evolution of northern maritime adaptations, circumpolar culture contacts, cross-cultural studies and acculturation processes in the North, especially concerning Native-European contacts.
		Recent research efforts have been directed at investigations into the problem of the western penetration of Maritime Archaic, Paleoeskimo and early Inuit cultures along the Lower North Shore of Quebec, and to associate this culture history more closely with Labrador and Newfoundland.
		Current interests in the origins of reindeer herding have led him to conduct research in Mongolia, where he is investigating reindeer herding in southern Siberia along the forest-steppe border, as well as investigating possible connections between deer-stones and Scythian art to the ancient art of East Asia and the Bering Sea Eskimos.

		Their stone harpoon tips, arrowheads, and knives were so small (some barely one inch long) that archaeologists refer to the culture as the Arctic Small Tool tradition.
		Nearly simultaneously, a second wave of Paleoeskimos wandered southward into the animal-rich Foxe Basin and along the shores of Hudson Strait.
		These Pre-Dorset people, appear to have been more sedentary, deriving most of their food from seal, walrus, and caribou, which they hunted with toggling harpoon heads and arrows, and composite bows of driftwood and caribou sinew.

		As well, there is a cave along the trail where the skeletal remains of six Paleoeskimo bodies were uncovered - one female, four children and one infant.
		The park encourages local residents and visitors to use the trail, but have respect for the grounds for it is culturally olden to Port au Choix history.
		Also, plans are being made to extend the trail as far as Phillips Garden, an ancient Dorset Paleoeskimo burial ground.

	Northwest Passage - Canadian Arctic - Pond Inlet
		Archeologists divide Nunavut's inhabitants into two distinct but physically related groups: the Paleoeskimo people from at least 4,000 to 700 years ago; and the Neoeskimo people who entered Nunavut some 1,000 years ago.
		The Paleoeskimos emigrated from the west (Alaska) in small groups consisting of only a few families.
		Oftentimes, all that remains of a Paleoeskimo dwelling are a few rocks, a small vegetated patch, or a slight depression along a beach ridge.

		Archaeology documents the first arrival of people to the area 8,000 years ago, shortly after the retreat of the continental glacier.
		Paleoeskimo caribou hunters moved here around 1500 BC after climatic changes in the Arctic closed the ice leads on the Arctic Ocean, making seal hunting impossible.
		Ancestors of modern Dene peopled the Thelon valley around 2,500 years ago, and then around AD 1000, Thule Inuit whale hunters moved east across the Arctic islands from Alaska in pursuit of the bowhead whale.

	Architectural Variability in Palaeoeskimo Tent Rings From Jones Sound, NWT -- M.A. Thesis -- (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This thesis documents and examines the scope of architectural variability in a sample of Paleoeskimo tent rings from the Jones Sound region of the eastern Canadian High Arctic.
		A total of forty-four excavated and unexcavated tent rings were examined and analyzed using the predominantly metric methods of quantitative shape analysis.
		It is suggested that current interpretations regarding the temporal-cultural diagnosticity of specific architectural elements within Paleoeskimo features are only partially supported by a rigid examination of the Jones Sound data.
