The DORSET LONGHOUSES in UNGAVA.

Plummet, 1982, gave a description of the longhouses known around Ungava Bay and sums up excavation data for five of them. In conclusion Plummet wrote: "The Dorset longhouse is a structure built with the same technical resources as other Dorset habitations. ... Analogies [to other longhouses] can be explained by a basic convergence in function and by similar technical constraints. (Plumet, 1982)

Comment: The words above are the summary in English as written by Plumet. A simplified translation of sections of the French text indicated that much data was left out of the summary. This data included the dating, the post holes. and the "objects of evidence."
