Dorset culture - 2025 ACF Winter

Question

The Sadlermiut were widely hypothesized to be the last remnants of this culture, until genetic studies revealed otherwise. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this culture that preceded the Thule. These people, named after a cape in Nunavut, inhabited much of the Canadian Arctic and Greenland.

ANSWER: Dorset culture

[10m] The Dorset site of Qajartalik includes 150 carvings of humans, animals, and human-animal hybrids in a quarry of this material. This material was used to carve many birds in Great Zimbabwe.

ANSWER: soapstone [prompt on stone]

[10e] Unlike the Thule, the Dorset did not hunt these animals, which were often used for oil lamps. The Thule used novel materials like ivory, bone, and antler to make harpoons to hunt these large marine mammals.

ANSWER: whales [prompt on cetaceans]
