This article presents a reassessment of the Paleoeskimo presence in Ivujivik (northwest tip of Nunavik, Canada). It discusses 36 new radiocarbon dates obtained to determine whether the Pita (KcFr-5) and Ohituk (KcFr-3A) sites belong to the so-called “Pre-Dorset to Dorset transition,” as concluded from previous research, or represent occupations during periods corresponding to either culture. The new dates and those obtained earlier confirm that the sites were occupied around 800–400 cal BC (i.e., the presumed transition). However, other dates demonstrate that the Pita site was mainly visited during the Pre-Dorset period and contains the oldest date (2460–2290 cal BC, 1σ) obtained so far for Nunavik. As for the Ohituk site, it was mostly occupied during the Dorset period. Because dates from the sites spread over three millennia, it is concluded that the archaeological remains come from a palimpsest of occupations and do not represent a transition period.

重新诠释Ivujivik的第一批人类职业（加拿大努纳维克）

本文对在Ivujivik（加拿大努纳维克的西北端）存在的Paleoeskimo进行了重新评估。它讨论了获得的36个新的放射性碳数据，以确定Pita（KcFr-5）和Ohituk（KcFr-3A）站点是否属于先前研究得出的所谓的“从多塞特郡到多塞特郡的过渡”，或代表了对应于两种文化的时期。新的日期和较早获得的日期证实了这些遗址在公元前800-400 cal左右被占领（即推测的过渡）。但是，其他日期也表明，皮塔饼遗址是在多塞特山前时期主要造访的，其中包含努纳维克迄今获得的最古老的日期（公元前2460–2290 cal，1σ）。至于奥希图克遗址，在多塞特时期主要被占领。由于这些地点的日期分布了三千年，
