Brooman Point Village

Based on archeological finds, Brooman Point Village is an abandoned village in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in the central High Arctic near Brooman Point (75°23′00″N 097°17′30″W / 75.38333°N 97.29167°W / 75.38333; -97.29167 (Brooman Point)[1]) of the Gregory Peninsula, part of the eastern coast of Bathurst Island. Brooman was both a Late Dorset culture Paleo-Eskimo village as well as an Early Thule culture village.[2] Both the artifacts and the architecture, specifically longhouses, are considered important historical remains of the two cultures.[3][4] The site shows traces of Palaeo-Eskimo occupations between about 2000 BC and 1 AD, but the major prehistoric settlement occurred from about 900 to 1200 AD.
