Title: Iglulualumiut Prehistory: The lost Inuit of Franklin Bay (Archaeological Survey of Canada, Mercury Series Paper 142)
Description: Hull: Canadian Museum of Civilization, 1990. Large format paperback, illustrated with diagrams and photos of artifacts, 202pp. Ex-institutional library copy with library pocket at back. A very good copy. 440 grams. This study examines material from four archaeological sites revealing the existence of a previously unrecognized late prehistoric/early historic Inuit (Eskimo) society living in Franklin Bay, in the western Canadian Arctic. These northern polar people - the Iglulualumiut - had a culture closely resembling that of the neighbouring Mackenzie Inuit, of whom they can be considered an extension. They appear to have been of local Thule culture origin, and the last remnants of a once widespread Inuit occupation along the southern coast of Amundsen Gulf.
