The man is Jens Fleischer, Knud Rasmussen’s uncle. But this picture isn’t all we’ve got. Our archives can boast a far more unusual artefact: a little white box trimmed with gold containing a grizzled, red-brownish beard.

The avifauna of Thulethe district was studied during three breeding seasonvisits in 1983-85. The results are presented here, supplemented by data from four late summer expeditions made in 1983-86 by M. Lea, A. Erskine and W. Higgs. Counting the two redpolls as one, 47 species have been recorded from the Thule district, 17 of them seabirds, 10 shorebirds and 7 waterfowl. There are at least 21 species with established breeding populations. Status changes are demonstrated for three species, and three Nearctic speciesare recorded here for the Thule district for the first time. Key words: birds, ornithology, Greenland, Thule district RÉSUMÉ. On a étudié l’avifaune dudistrict de Thulé au cours de trois visitesfaites pendant la saisonde reproduction entre 1983 et 1985.

FREDERICA DE LAGUNA October 3, 1906—October 6, 2004 BY WILLIAM W. FITZHUGH 1 AMONG THE MANY legendary characters who made the anthropology of the Arctic and Northwest Coast their calling, Frederica de Laguna stands as a towering figure, legendary in her own time. Not only was she highly respected in a field dominated by males; she outclassed virtually all of her northern anthro- pological colleagues in the scope and sheer volume of her contributions, which embraced archaeology, folklore, ethnohistory, social anthropology, human biology, and linguistics. She did all this, and did it exceedingly well, for 75 years, while also serving as a professor at Bryn Mawr College. Here she spent most of her 98 years training students, building a department and Ph.D. program, conducting FREDERICA DE LAGUNA fieldwork, serving her discipline, and producing an unparalleled body of research. voluminous writings and mentoring of a constant stream of professional anthropologists—mostly female—and In her early years, just to keep busy and finance her research, she wrote detective had a wide circle of Native admirers and collabora- stories. tors, with the result that she became both a Native and e Laguna, known to friends and academic “institution.” colleagues throughout her life as Freddy was widely recognized by her peers, serving “Freddy,” spent the first two decades as vice-president of the Society for American Archae- of her professional life on compara- ology (SAA) from 1949 to 1950 and as president of Dtive work of circumpolar art, on several syntheses of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) from North American archaeology, and on research involving 1966 to 1967. -
ROLF Gilbergl Numerous Place Names in Greenland Are Beset With
Thule ROLF GILBERGl Numerous place names in Greenland are beset with some confusion, and Thule is possibly the most nonspecific of them all. An attempt has been made in the following paper, therefore, to set out some of the various meanings which have been attached to the word. ULTIMATHULE In times of antiquity, “Thule” was the name given to an archipelago far to the north of the Scandinavian seas.The Greek explorer Pytheas told his contemporaries about this far-awayplace, and about the year 330 B.C.he sailed northward from Marseilles in France in search of the source of amber. When he reached Britain, heheard of an archipelagofurther north known as “Thule”.The name was apparently Celtic;the archipelago what are now known as the Shetland Isles. AfterPytheas’ time, the ancientscalled Scandinavia “Thule”. In poetry,it became“Ultima Thule”, i.e. “farthest Thule”, a distantnorthern place, geo- ‘ graphically undefined and shrouded in esoteric mystery. As the frontiers of man’s exploration gradually expanded, the legendary Ultima Thule acquired a more northerly location. It moved with the Vikings from the Faroe Islands to Iceland, and, when Iceland was colonized in the ninth century A.D., Greenland became “Thule” in folklore. THULESTATION Perhap Knud Rasmussen had these historical facts in mind when he founded a trading post in 1910 among the Polar Eskimos and called the store “Thule Station”. The committee managing Rasmussen’s station was, incidentally, always referred to as the Cape York Committee, and the official name of the station was “Cape York Station, Thule”. Behind the pyramid-shaped base of the rock called Mount Dundas by British explorers, but generally known as Thule Mountain, on North Star Bay, the best natural harbour in the area, the Polar Eskimos hadplaced their settlement, Umanaq (meaning heart-shaped). -

Écrire Et Lire La Langue Inuit. Choix Linguistiques Contemporains À
AURÉLIE HOT ÉCRIRE ET LIRE LA LANGUE INUIT Choix linguistiques contemporains à Iqaluit et Igloolik, Nunavut Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures de l’Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de doctorat en Anthropologie pour l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) DÉPARTEMENT D’ANTHROPOLOGIE FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES SOCIALES UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL QUÉBEC 2010 © Aurélie Hot, 2010 Résumé Les pratiques de l’écriture à Iqaluit, la capitale du Nunavut, et à Igloolik, une plus petite communauté au nord de la région de Baffin, mettent en scène la gestion quotidienne du bilinguisme chez les locuteurs du nouveau territoire. Depuis l’apprentissage du syllabique jusqu’aux sites de socialisation sur Internet, des expériences individuelles sont présentées et explicitent le contexte et les attitudes linguistiques qui gouvernent les choix de langue en fonction du mode d’expression. Le caractère marginal de l’écriture en langue inuit ressort nettement dans ce portrait des pratiques, quelle que soit la vitalité de la langue à l’oral. Cette restriction sur l’épanouissement de l’inuktitut dans tous les domaines possibles d’utilisation fragilise l’équilibre d’une nécessaire relation de complémentarité avec l’anglais. Une étude de la situation linguistique au Groenland laisse entrevoir une autre réalité, ce qui suscite plusieurs questionnements. La diversité dialectale, l’expérience d’urbanisation, les dynamiques économiques et les mobilisations identitaires influencent les pratiques de l’écriture. Les conséquences quant à l’effort de promotion de la langue inuit en sont tirées. Mots clés : écriture syllabique, Nunavut, langue inuit. ii Abstract Literacy practices in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, and Igloolik, a smaller community located in the northern Baffin region, illustrate the daily management of bilingualism by the speakers of the new territory. -
Copenhagen Radiocarbon Dates Iv
[AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE RADIOCARBON SUPPLEMENT, VOL. 2, 1960, P. 12.251 COPENHAGEN RADIOCARBON DATES IV HENRIK TAUBER Carbon-14 Dating Laboratory Department of Natural Sciences, National Museum, Copenhagen The following list includes samples from sites or sections described in archaeologic or geologic publications. Several others, already dated, will be published when the archaeologic and geologic investigations are concluded. INTRODUCTION Counting technique.-All dates reported here were made with the propor- tional gas-counting technique. The counter is made of mild steel and has a sensitive volume of 2 liters. The sample is introduced in the counter as purified CO2 at a normal pressure of 2 atmospheres, corrected for the standard tem- perature of 298.2°K. The counter is shielded with 8 inches of .iron, a ring of 17 G-M counters arranged in anticoincidence with the proportional counter, and 1 inch of distilled mercury. The mercury is contained in the hollow wall of the counter itself. In this way radioactive dust cannot be deposited between the mercury shield and the proportional counter. All pulses larger than about 8 mV at the central wire are registered. With this counting equipment the background is 5.2 counts/min at a barometric pressure of 760 mm Hg. The barometric effect on the background is 0.16 counts/min per cm Hg. The activity of contemporary material is 24.60 counts/min. If necessary, samples are given a pretreatment with 1% phosphoric acid and 2% sodium hydroxide. Age calculations.-For samples K-501 through K-595, the contemporary standard was tree rings from A.D.
