Abstract

The grave find at Qilakitsoq, with its eight fully clad mummified bodies and 25 additional articles of clothing, was so well preserved that it made possible a description of the dress of Eskimo women in the fifteenth century. and of the advantages and apparently few drawbacks of this clothing in the arctic climate.
