Kujataa au Groenland : agriculture nordique et inuite en bordure de la calotte glaciaire

This cultural heritage site in Denmark encompasses the remains of Norse and Inuit settlements established in southwestern Greenland, documenting the interaction between two distinct agricultural societies at the margins of the ice sheet. The site preserves evidence of Norse farming communities that developed livestock husbandry and crop cultivation, alongside Inuit populations who maintained hunting and fishing traditions, representing a unique coexistence of Nordic and Arctic subsistence practices. Located in a marginal environment where agriculture was precarious, the settlements demonstrate how human communities adapted to and exploited resources in the subarctic landscape during the medieval period and beyond. The archaeological remains include farm structures, field systems, and settlement patterns that illustrate the distinct but overlapping land use strategies of these two cultures. The site's significance lies in its testimony to early cultural exchange and parallel development of agricultural and hunting societies in Greenland, offering insights into medieval Norse expansion and Inuit settlement patterns in the North Atlantic region.
