Comer's Midden

Comer's Midden was a 1916 archaeological excavation site near Thule (modern Qaanaaq), north of Mt.

In Mathiasen's monumental[10] works of the 1920s and 1930s, he described Comer's Midden as "the only substantial find of pure Thule culture in Greenland".

[16][17] Subsequent to the initial finds, additional artifacts pertain to the Dorset culture,[18][19] as well as items of Norse origin.

[20] The vast majority of harpoon heads found are of the open socket type typical of the Thule culture.

In 1953, Dundas and nearby Pituffik were converted into Thule Air Force Base and their residents relocated to Qaanaaq.
