Chapter VIII: Archaeological Specimens from “Eskimo” Sites

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 June 2018

Extract

While it is difficult to classify as either Eskimo or Indian the archaeological material from the sites in the vicinity of Holy Cross, it seems to have more of an “Eskimo” character than that obtained from sites farther up the Yukon. For this reason, it is here described in a separate chapter. This material consists of three small collections: the largest is from Fox Creek, about 14 miles below Holy Cross, and was collected both by Mr. Fox and by ourselves; the second is from Ghost Creek about a mile and a half above Holy Cross and was collected by the trader there; the third was collected by Mr. Charles Ray, and is said to have come from Fox Creek. It was purchased from the trader at Ghost Creek in Mr. Ray's absence; because of the slight uncertainty about the provenience of these specimens they will be indicated by an “R” in references to the plates.
