of wood, and finally a few toys, such as a bear and a bird 

 carved in wood, 1 walrus, 1 duck, seals, and a couple of toy 

 harpoon points in bone. The kitchen-middens were filled with 

 large quantities of reindeer hair; on the other hand the wool 

 of musk-oxen and other remains of these animals were not 

 to be seen.

 cairn-like stone buildings (bee-hive shaped); (cf. Scoresby's
