From Earliest Contacts: An Examination of Inuit and Aleut 1 Art 2 in Scottish Collections
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This chapter examines collections of Inuit and Aleut art in Scotland. They include items gathered on explorative journeys by Sir William Parry during the 1820s; collected by Scots during the nineteenth century, and produced for the late twentieth century art market. While Eskimoaleut art objects can be bought quite easily on the European and American market if one knows where to look, numbers of tourists, in the modern sense of the word, to the north polar region itself are small. The earliest identified group of Eskimoaleut &s;souvenirs&s; in Scotland is at the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh, and relates to the explorative excursions of William Edward Parry around Melville Peninsula while attempting to discover the northern sea route to the Far East, the Northwest Passage, in 1821-1823. From the eighteenth century to the present, explorers, whalers, traders, scientists, and a small number of late twentieth century museum curators have all brought items of such artwork to Scotland.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
