	abstract = {In 1996, 1997 and 1998 the Danish National Museum conducted fieldwork in the Thule District, Greenland. One of the major goals of the research was to highlight the centuries around 1000 AD, focusing on {\textquoteright}the Gateway to Greenland{\textquoteright}. Excavations on three different Late/Terminal Dorset sites in Hatherton Bay, Inglefield Land leads us to believe that contact among Dorset and Thule groups, and Dorset and the Norsemen took place in the area. Furthermore a total excavation of a so-called {\textquoteright}longhouse{\textquoteright} from the Dorset culture has led to a re-evaluation of the function of the structure.},

	title = {Late Dorset in the High Arctic - Maintaining Contacts},
	year = {2000},
	address = {Ottawa},
	abstract = {In recent years, archaeological fieldwork has considerably expanded our empirical basis on late Dorset, with new material from excavations and surveys in the general regions south and north of the Hudson Strait, in central High Arctic Canada, and in the Smith Sound area. Important questions have been raised among other things on the nature of interaction between both local and regional late Dorset groups, as well as between late Dorset groups and other ethnic groups (the Thule people and the Norsemen). The focus of the present paper will be on the late Dorset expansion into the High Arctic and the factors that lead to this expansion. It will be suggested that the expansion should be seen as a conscious choice among groups of individuals responding to a number of {\textquoteright}pull{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteright}push{\textquoteright} factors. It will furthermore be argued that the relatively dispersed local and regional groups in the High Arctic for a number of social, economic, and psychological reasons made a strong effort to maintain contact with each other and the more southerly Dorset groups. The considerations presented in the paper will be of a preliminary character and mainly raised to suggest one of the ways research may take in the coming years.},

	title = {Trade and Exchange in the Nuuk-Area, West-Greenland},
	year = {2006},
	address = {Toronto},
	abstract = {From the early historical sources on Greenland it is apparent that long-distance trade and exchange were important strategically means to on the one hand ensure a wide access to geographically restricted resources and on the other to maintain and develop social ties that among others were crucial in times of need. The Steatite Objects Analyses Project (S.O.A.P.) 2005 - 2007 focuses on the two main articles that were traded out of the Nuuk-area in early historical times, namely steatite and caribou skin. During the project we will highlight the "life-histories" of both these products and the social systems and circumstances that brought the products to life. With the knowledge gained from the combination of archaeological, historical and geochemical analyses of the historical material we will then try to move back in time to analyse the likely palaeo-Eskimo exchange systems along Greenland{\textquoteright}s West coast.},
