Deltaterrasserne

Deltaterrasserne ("Delta Terraces") is a pre-Inuit occupation archaeological site located near the head of Jørgen Brønlund Fjord on the Peary Land peninsula in northern Greenland. It is one of the largest archaeological sites in Peary Land,[1] and was discovered in September 1948 by the Danish explorer and archaeologist Eigil Knuth during the second summer of the Danish Pearyland Expedition.[2] Occupied during the period of 2,050–1,750 BC,[3] the site contains features of Independence I and Independence II cultures.[1]
