Short article written by Rowley regarding a particular artefact which he was given by Eskimos, who he assumes dug them up from old houses at Pingerqalik-a site which Therkel Mathiassen sketched. He focuses on one in particular, because it has both Thule and Dorset characteristics. This artefact is in the National Museum of Canada.
