The long-contested question of the Inuit occupation of the Quebec Lower North Shore has been illuminated by excavations at five 17th–18th-century sod-house villages. Few organic artifacts survive, and the preserved material culture is almost entirely of European artifacts or materials refashioned into Inuit forms. Faunal assemblages indicate winter occupations. Hare Harbor represents a departure from other settlements in having been an Inuit-Basque/French “joint venture.” Lower North Shore Inuit appear to have had a more positive relationship with Europeans than Labrador Inuit, but their presence was vigorously contested by Innu whose coastal lands they appropriated. Questions about year-round occupancy remain because few summer sites have been found. Was the Lower North Shore Inuit occupation a wave migration followed by long-term settlement and withdrawal a century later, or a series of episodic migrations followed by periodic or even seasonal withdrawal? Historical records document intermittent Innu hostilities ending with Inuit withdrawal by AD 1750. In the mid-19th century, Inuit returned, and today their genetic and cultural heritage is an important feature of Lower North Shore life.

获得，失去和重新获得的天堂：脉动迁移和魁北克下北岸的因纽特人考古学

长期争议的因纽特人占领魁北克下北岸的问题已通过在17至18世纪五个草皮房村的发掘而得以阐明。几乎没有有机人工制品能够幸存，保存下来的材料文化几乎完全是欧洲人工制品或重新塑造为因纽特人形式的材料。动物集会表示冬季的职业。野兔港是其他因纽特人，巴斯克人/法国人的“合资企业”，与其他定居点不同。与拉布拉多因纽特人相比，北岸因纽特人与欧洲人的关系似乎更为积极，但因努人侵占了他们的沿海土地，他们的存在受到了激烈的竞争。由于很少找到夏季用地，因此全年入住的问题仍然存在。下北岸因纽特人占领是波浪迁移，然后是一个世纪后的长期定居和撤离，还是一系列事件迁移，然后是周期性甚至季节性撤离？历史记录记载了因努（Innu）的间歇性敌对行动，直到公元1750年因因纽特人撤军而结束。在19世纪中叶，因纽特人返回，如今，他们的遗传和文化遗产是下北岸生活的重要特征。
