Excavated interior of early contact period Inuit house at Indian Harbour. The paved floor area is in the centre. At the rear of the floor is a paved sleeping platform, and along the sides are earth benches bordered by upright slabs. The large rectangular stone near the front left of the floor is the fallen lintel stone, that once capped a doorway flanked by pillars of rocks. Immediately in front of the floor is the sunken 'cold-trap', forming the inner end of the entrace passage that angles away to the lower left of the picture.
