Author: Bird, Janius Bouton Title: Archaeology of the Hopedale Area, Labrador Year: 1945 Publisher: New York: Anthropological papers of the American Museum of Natural History ; v. 39, pt. 2. Pages: 65 Source: American Museum of Natural History Description: "In planning this work the vicinity of Hopedale was selected because of several considerations and possibilities. It was known that a sufficient number of ruins were available to justify excavation here during one summer season; also that these ruins were of different types and, to judge from their state of preservation, of various ages. A more theoretical consideration was based on a general comparison of the physical structure and general ecological conditions along the entire [Labrador] coast" (1945:125). Some of the sites examined include: Avertok ("a place of whales"), Karmakulluk ("place of old low house walls"), and ruins on Napatalik Island ("Island of Plenty"), and Iglosoataligarsuk ("little island of old houses").
