Abstract
This paper describes an isolated Pre-Dorset component found at the Tungatsivvik (KkDo-3) site on southern Baffin Island. Micro-debitage analysis and systematic core sampling are proposed as a combined strategy to facilitate future investigations of Pre-Dorset occupations in this region.
Résumé
Cet article décrit une composante prédorsétienne isolée au site Tungatsivvik (KkDo-3) dans le sud de la Terre de Baffin. Afin de faciliter la reconnaissance d'autres occupations prédorsétiennes, nous proposons une analyse du microdébitage et des échantillonnages systèmatiques.
