In West Greenland the material record of Paleo-Eskimo, Norse, Thule and colonial caribou hunting is well-known from the lower parts of the inland tundra. In contrast, more or less nothing is known from the alpine area. The projects aim is to survey ice and snow patches in heights above 1000m in two areas of the Nuuk region to document archaeological objects and structures left by caribou hunters. Collected data is used to discuss current archaeological knowledge on caribou hunting which is dominated by sites situated in the tundra below. As preservation of organic remains can be expected a more exact dating of stone-built hunting structures may be possible.

在西格陵兰岛，古爱斯基摩人、挪威人、图勒人和殖民时期的驯鹿狩猎的材料记录在内陆苔原的较低地区是众所周知的。相比之下，我们对高山地区几乎一无所知。该项目的目的是调查努克地区两个地区海拔1000米以上的冰雪斑块，以记录驯鹿猎人留下的考古物品和建筑。收集到的数据被用来讨论目前关于驯鹿狩猎的考古知识，这些知识主要是位于下面冻土带的遗址。由于有机遗迹的保存是可以预期的，因此更精确地确定石头建造的狩猎结构的年代是可能的。
