Spatial Analysis of an Early Thule Dwelling from Assuukaaq Island, Northern Quebec
Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary spatial analysis of a Thule semi-subterranean dwelling from site JhEv-3, located in Burgoyne Bay on the southern coast of Hudson Strait. The interpretation is based on spatial distribution of artifacts, faunal remains, lithic debris, in addition to stratigraphy. Based on visual inspection, the house can be separated into three distinct spatial units: the inside, the midden and the peripheral area. These clusters provide information concerning house construction, maintenance and abandonment. The presentation will provide a small-scale example of Early Thule occupation on the southern coast of Hudson Strait.
