Wooden Houses from the Western Nort American Arctic 15th-18th c. : methodology for a restitution of building techniques

In the western North American Arctic, architectural remains of frozen sites are often extremely well preserved. Layers closer to the present surface are often in a lesser state of preservation than lower levels, sometimes difficult to define. These remains are those of winter houses occupied by the...

Layers closer to the present surface are often in a lesser state of preservation than lower levels, sometimes difficult to define.
