    Qajartalik

    Qajartalik (pronounced k-eye-yar-tal-ick, meaning “where there is a kayak” in Inuktitut) is the largest and most well-studied site containing evidence of petroglyphs in the Canadian Arctic. Petroglyphs are a type of rock art made by carving directly into a rock panel. Qajartalik is one of only four known sites in the Canadian Arctic and Greenland with petroglyphs. All these petroglyph sites are located on the northeastern coast of the Ungava Peninsula. Based on the artistic style of the carved images, archaeologists believe the Dorset people, also known as the Tuniit in Inuit oral histories, from the latter third of their cultural period made them. This would mean the petroglyphs are roughly 700 to 1,500 years old. Given the large number of petroglyphs, at least 180, Qajartalik was likely an important site to the Dorset people and is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Arctic.
