Archaeological investigations of prehistoric and historic caribou hunting in the alpine region of West Greenland

在西格陵兰，古爱斯基摩人、北欧人、图勒人和殖民地驯鹿狩猎的物质记录在内陆苔原的下部广为人知。相比之下，对阿尔卑斯山地区的情况或多或少一无所知。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结构。收集的数据被用来讨论目前的考古知识驯鹿狩猎，这是占主导地位的网站位于下面的苔原。由于有机遗迹的保存是可以预期的，因此有可能对石制狩猎结构进行更精确的年代测定。

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.
