PLATE 13 



A. Two Aivilik members of the boat crew, Okerluk and Xapayuk, stand beside a mushroom- 

 shaped cairn at an abandoned Sadlermiut site on north shore of Coats Island. Cairns of 

 this shape, peculiar to the Sadlermiut, were used as platforms for storing meat. 



B. House Xo. 3 at the Sadlermiut site on Coats Island, after excavation had revealed the 

 stone flooring and one of three sleeping platforms, shown at left. At center, stone roof 

 supports, still in place, hold the flat slabs of limestone that had formed the roof of the 

 house.
