Abstract
This brief article examines the limited evidence of Paleo-Eskimo activity in the region north of the Kangerlussuaq area in western Greenland, and suggests a possible Paleo-Eskimo resource utilization pattern where such activity did occur. Some important aspects concerning archaeological reconnaissance methodology in the inland areas is touched upon in this paper (p. 111).
