註釋The Ruin Island phase of Thule culture was first defined by Erik Holtved following his archaeological investigations in the Thule District of Northwest Greenland in the 1930s. A distinctive Alaskan cast to the material culture, associated Norse items, and conflicting radiocarbon assessments have made it difficult to determine the cultural relationships and chronological position of the Ruin Island phase within the Canadian Thule culture continuum. This study draws on data from recent archaeological research in the Bache Peninsula region of eastern Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, to clarify and extend the knowledge of the culture phase and the question of Thule culture expansion into the Canadian High Arctic. The report presents the cultural setting, Neo-Eskimo culture history, and Thule Island research in the Eastern High Arctic; describes the Ruin Island phase sites; analyses the artifacts found; gives a chronology and cultural position; and provides subsistence analysis.
