About this ebook
The Meta Incognita Project investigates Martin Frobisher’s Arctic expeditions of 1576-1578 (which included the first English attempt to establish a colony in Canada and mine its mineral resources) and their effects on the culture of the Inuit he encountered. This report focuses mainly on the field investigations conducted in 1991 by a number of Canadian and American archaeologists, anthropologists and geologists and includes papers on their preliminary findings as well as on the historical context and the issues of the project.
