This is the facsimile edition of the original 1943 volume containing a report on excavations in the summer of 1939 in the East Settlement of the Norsemen, known today as the Julianehaab District. With Holger Rasmussen assisting him, the author cleared ruin groups 64a, 64c and 78a; journeys were also made for the purpose of protecting ancient monuments and of reconnoitring, especially in Igaliko and Tunugdliarfik fjords, in the course of which some ruins hitherto unknown were discovered.
