Abstract
This is a brief study of Angujaartorfik, a Paleo-Eskimo caribou hunting camp located in western Greenland, and associated with the Saqqaq culture period. The site was surveyed in 1988 and a limited collection of surface artifacts taken as samples for carbon 14 dating. The results of the preliminary investigations are presented here along with thoughts concerning Saqqaq exploitation of inland hunting resources (p. 119).
