Abstract
This is a brief survey of a number of Paleo-Eskimo sites in the Scoresby Sund area of eastern Greenland, made by the authors during two summer seasons in 1989-1990 and again in the summer of 1992. Primary emphasis in this document is on the artifacts recovered, their physical composition, and on the structural remains found at the sites. The cultural provenance of many of the artifacts is often unclear in this work because of the similarity in workmanship between many of the Saqqaq, Dorset, and Neo-Eskimo tools.
