Abstract
Holmes examines two interior sites at Lake Minchuminia and compares their artifact assemblages with those at Point Hope (which the author considers to be Ipiutak culture) and Iyatayet (Norton culture). He concludes there was long standing interaction between inland boreal groups and coastal Norton groups.
