An Analysis of 600‐Year‐Old Gut‐Skin Parkas of the Early Thule Period from the Nuulliit Site, Avanersuaq, Greenland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Three 600‐year‐old hooded gut‐skin parkas were excavated in 1947 at the settlement Nuulliit, situated in the North Water polynya between Ellesmere Island and Avanersuaq in northern Greenland. The parkas, radiocarbon dated to the 14th century AD, belong to the Thule Period Inuit, who migrated from the Bering Strait region through Arctic North America into northern Greenland after 1250 AD. This study compares the Nuulliit parkas with gut‐skin parkas collected from 1846–1945 among resident Inuit in Alaska and eastern Greenland. Further, a comparison is conducted with female and male fur‐skin parkas from Inuit in the Bering Strait region and Alaska. The analyses of the parkas’ cutting, sewing techniques, and material consumption show that the characteristic cut with double hood roots (inserted in the mid‐shoulders or directly connected to the hood), sleeve gussets, and vertical orientation of gut‐skin panels were used for at least 550 years among the Inuit.

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.
