156 DANIEL BRUUN. 
In the fiords north and south of Arsuk there proved to be in all eigh- 
teen ruin-groups. By these investigations the eastern settlement’s north 
boundary was carried far northwards to Tigssaluk (north of Arsukfiord), 
whilst the western settlement’s southern boundary was settled to be Ame- 
ralikfiord (the ancient Lysufiord), which agrees excellently with the old 
statement of a six days’row between the eastern and western settle- 
ments. 
A few, isolated ruins lying in Fiskenessfiord and Agdlumérsatfiord 
have evidently not belonged to either of the settlements. 
We cannot here go deeper into all these circumstances, but must 
refer one to the professional treatises. During Holm’s investigations in 
1880 and mine in 1894 the eastern settlement’s most southern part and 
its centre were chiefly made the object of more rigid examination, there- 
fore in the same manner as the eastern settlement’s most northern part 
was visited in 1903. 
Architect MOGENS CLEMMENSEN was in Julianehaab’s district in 1910, 
chiefly so as to visit the church in Kakortok, (Hvalsey church), he visited 
other Norse ruins, being of the opinion that in Igaliko (Gardar) he had 
found the place where the assizes were held. He brought, in many ways, 
several interesting results home. 
Later on, ruins have incidentally (in 1912) been found by cand. 
mag. К. STEPHENSEN and cand. BIRKET SMITH, in the fiords between 
the centre of the eastern settlement and its most northern part, thus 
in Ikerssuak and Sermilik. 
In conclusion we will state that parson EMIL JESPERSEN had found 
ruins about four miles to the east of Kagssiarssuk creek, in the vicinity 
of the inland-ice. Here it is a question of an outfarm. 
Norse farms. — Daily life. 
As hinted at, the Greenlanders arranged themselves exactly in the 
same manner on their farms as the Icelanders were in the habit of doing. 
The conditions of nature and the terms of life were to a degree essen- 
tial to both countries. 
The position of the Norse farms, in Greenland, has inevitably been 
dependant on how far a manured homefield (Tan) could be arranged 
on the spot, likewise grass and fodder, in a sufficient quantity for the 
live stock, must also be provided for, in its vicinity. 
A fairly easy communication with the outer world has also played 
a very essential part. 
Now if such a place was found it was of importance there to erect 
the necessary buildings, first of all the dwelling houses for people and 
stables for the domestic animals. 
The building material which the Norsemen had at their disposal 
consisted chiefly of stone and earth turf. The stones were commonly
