Context (Field collection)
Hut. Excavated in August 1937 by Thomas Lethbridge during the 1937 Cambridge Expedition to North West Greenland and the Canadian Arctic, led by James Mann Wordie. This was likely excavated at the same location as where Thomas T. Paterson excavated 3 years earlier during the 1934 Wordie Expedition (see Wordie 1938, p. 391). See MAA photo collection for lantern slides and photographs; see the University Library for excavation notebook (MS Add.9258/3).
