Maxwell Calls Tools Indication
Of Ancient Eskimo Ancestor

Flint tools found off the north-
west coast of Greenland have in-
dicated the presence of the an-
cient Dorset man, the fore-runner
of the modern central Eskimo.
This information was disclosed'
by Prof. Moreau S. Maxwell, of
the anthropology department at
Michigan State University, who
spoke here on behalf of the Ann
Arbor Society of the Archaeologi-
cal Institute of America.
Professor Maxwell has explored
the area around Lake Hazen on

Ellesmere Island, where he found
these remnants of past life.
Dorset Evidence
There is a possibility, he said,
that these remnants were caused
by the Dorsets because of the type
of tools and house foundations
found, but, he continued, it is dif-
ficult to state positively that the
Dorsets left them because these
could Just as possibly be the rem-
nants of the more recent Thule
Tribe.
The Dorset way of life, he ex-
plained, has continued up to the
Twentieth Century, but the Dorset
man became extinct in 1200 A.D.
Prof. Maxwell noted that scien-
tists believe the Dorsets are de-
scendants of the Paleo-Eskimo,
who migrated to North America
from Siberia to hunt musk ox and
seal.
Find Primitive Spears
This is substantiated, he pointed
out, by the finding of numerous
primitive spears and harpoons
used in their unique Maupoc
method of hunting in which he
hypothesized that the Dorset
would sit motionless for as long as
eight hours in 40 degree below
zero temperatures waiting for the
seal to s come up through his
breathing hole for air, and then
would spear him.
Whoever the inhabitants of the
area, he concluded they must have
been present when the tempera-
tures were more moderate, leaving
in time to escape the harsh win-
ters.
To Give Talk
On Japanese
Prof. George R. Storry, of St.
Antony's College, Oxford Univer-
sity, will give a lecture on "The
Super-Patriots of Pre-War Japan"
at 4:15 p.m. today in Aud. A, An-
gell Hall.
The talk is being sponsored by
the Far Eastern languages and
literatures department.
