Palaeo-Eskimo Land Use

Ongoing research in the interior of southern Baffin Island has resulted in the identification of many previously unknown Palaeo-Eskimo occupations. These sites are variously located on the shores of Nettilling, Amadjuak, and Mingo Lakes, and along the Mingo River, which joins Mingo Lake to Amadjuak Lake (see Figure 6.2). They are most frequently concentrated at the nexus of these prominent waterways since these locations appear to confer strategic hunting advantages where large numbers of birds, caribou, and fish can be taken when they are most abundant. The presence of large Neo-Eskimo occupations in these same locations attest to the optimality of these camp sites and indicates their intensive long-term use.
