Three 17th century whaling stations in southeastern Svalbard: an archaeological missing link
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2009
Abstract
Remains of three whaling stations on small islands south of Edgeøya, Svalbard, are described. They are believed to be British stations dating from the 17th century. Construction of tryworks and dwellings may represent an intermediate stage between that of Basque whaling stations in southern Labrador and of west European stations on the west coast of Spitsbergen.
