MONEY FOR new equip- ment such as this machine for cancer testing is one of the reasons hospitals find themsel-

Eskimo Ruins Found Dotinno lo 2,000 BC

3 E. BIRD

OTTAWA tCPl -— The ruins of an ancient Eskimo culture dat- ing bac 3.000 years have been discovered on one of the Queen Elizabeth Islands 1.000 miles from the North Pole.

The archeological find was made by W. E. enoch of the geographical branch of the federal technical survey depart- ment while doing research for the Polar Continental Shelf Pro- jcct on Melville Island 1.750 miles north of Winnipeg.

Mr. Henoch found the ruins of an Eskimo dwelling in Mc- Cormick Inlet on the north- western coast of Melville Is- land. He visited the site after it had been brought to his at- tention by budh pilots.

At the site Mr. Henoch found a number of artifacts believed

of the Dorset or pro-Dorset cul~ tures. The Dorset culture dates

'back to 2,000 BC. I Mr. Henoch an expert in the i field of geomorphology—the dat- ‘ ing of the history of land struc- tures—and officials of the Na- tional Museum of Canada say the find has exciting arche- ological possibilities.

Eskimos of the Dorset era, it :represents evidence of a west-

1 of ohm >ancient peoples. Dorset cultures ihave been found in other Arctic areas including Cornwallis 15- land and the east coast of Bath- jurst Island. but no sites have ‘been uncovered as far west as Melville Island.

This also is the first time any .evidence has been found of pre- lilistoric Eskimo habitation on ltllls barren island less than 200 ‘ miles from the Arctic Ocean. . 1 If the site is of the pre-Dorset. iera. this is the first evidence ‘of the existence of this culture tin the Queen Elizabeth Islands. iPre-Dorset cultures have been l found farther south in the Chur— l chili, Man.. area. E An official of the National Mu- , seum said that if the culture is

pre-Dorset “we may be on to [something hot in the field of larcheology." It would be sig-

nificant documentation that these ancient Eskimos ranged farther afield than previously known.
