Archaeology is not only about digging! While archaeological excavation focuses specifically on the ground and what is in the soil, it is not the only tool that archaeologists have to understand a site. With advances in technology, there are even more means available to gain greater insight into the people of the past. Sometimes, this includes sending artefacts for analysis, such as radio-carbon dating, soil testing and DNA testing.
However, there are also many non-invasive tools that we can use on-site! There are remote sensing methods, such as Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging), laser scanning, and we can do Low-altitude Aerial Photography (LAAP), using drones, to take photos of the site. After completing these processes, we then use programs such as ArcGIS (Geographic Information System), Agisoft and even Photoshop to create maps, 3D models and many other things!

We flew the drone on site and were able to create a 3D model – check it out!

When the Moravian mission settled in Noorliit, they quickly realised the differences between how Danish missions taught Scripture and their own way of spreading the Gospel.
The Danish way of teaching the religion was to instruct Inuit to strictly follow the Bible and its words, while the Moravian mission followed a different path. The Moravian method was to inspire spiritual awakening and through their emotions connect to the Gospel of Christianity. Inuit were only allowed to be baptised once the Moravian missionaries were convinced they had felt the Awakening. The Moravian mission’s method proved to be successful, as they soon baptized more Inuit than the Danish mission.

On May 20 1733, a supply ship arrived at the Colony of Godthaab. Christian David, Matthäus and Christian Stach, the founders of Neu Herrnhut, were onboard. Unfortunately, the ship also carried a stowaway: the highly contagious and deadly smallpox virus, variola.
According to Hans Egede’s diary, the children were first infected, closely followed by the adults. Within a few months, the smallpox virus was spread from the Colony of Godthaab to the Kook islands, Raven islands and the old Colony of Hope. The smallpox infections rapidly turned into an epidemic and spread out through the entire Nuuk Fjord.
The smallpox epidemic is estimated to have claimed the lives of 1200-3000 Inuit. Hans Egede writes that out of 200 families within 30 km from the Colony, only 30 families were left in 1734. The victims of the smallpox epidemic in the Colony were buried south of Hans Egede’s house. In the fjord, the victims were in several places laid to rest in their winterhouse, meaning that the survivors collapsed the building on top of them.

My name is Kirstine E. Møller and I am a PhD candidate at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Ilisimatusarfik - the University of Greenland. I am also affiliated with the Greenland National Museum and Archives.

My project investigates how the daily lives changed for Inuit who decided to join the Moravian missions in Greenland. I use both historical documents and archaeological methods in my research.

It is extremely important to me that science and archaeology is accessible to everyone. This fieldschool is one of the ways, where I attempt to make archaeological research more accessible and easier to engage with. It has been an absolute pleasure to work together with the students, they are critical, hard workers and so much fun to be with. I hope they have enjoyed our field work together as much as I have.

Randi, I’m a graduate student at Ilisimatusarfik. I work as a student helper at the Greenland National Museum, and this summer I joined the field school as a co-teacher – it has given me the opportunity to share my experience conducting archeological fieldwork in Greenland.

I have always been interested in studying people who lived here in our land through archeological research. I love to analyze -the imprints in the landscapes, -the sociocultural histories, -the cultural features, it’s like solving puzzles.

My name is Louisa Høyer, I am 24 years old and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Greenland/Ilisimatusarfik in the department of Culture & Social History.

My interest in archaeology began when I was 19, while I studied Greenlandic history and heritage during my tourist guide education at Campus Kujalleq in South Greenland.

When I started my first semester at the university I learned a lot of theory during my classes in Arctic Archaeology through my lecturer Kirstine Møller. She introduced me to the opportunity to participate the fieldwork in Noorliit Nuuk, and I accepted the offer, since this was a chance for me to gain more knowledge through the practical area which also allowed me to put the theory to use. I feel blessed to be part of an Greenlandic team with my fellow schoolmates, and I hope that I can contribute next year.

My name is Pia Egede, I’m 29-year-old, studying Cultural & Social History in the University of Greenland.
I’m interested in arctic archaeology; it is not my first field school. I’ve have been in south and north Greenland, helping different archaeologists with interviews, surveys and excavations.

The difference in Noorliit Field School: it is city-archaeology and the location is close to everything, where we can easily pass on information to the citizens (because citizens can easily come and visit). As I am also a local it is very unusual to excavate in the environment where yourself grew up in.
I like archaeology because things you can read about become tangible.
In the future, I hope I can partake in more archaeological research.

I have a great interest in our history as Greenlandic Inuit, which is also why I am also a certified Arctic Tour Guide, so we as the people of Greenland can tell our own stories about the past.
It is my very first time participating in an archaeological field school, and I’ve been very excited about learning something new as we went through the archaeological excavation.

My name is Angutinnguaq Olsen. I’m 27, and I’m a master student at the University of Greenland in
the department of Cultural & Social History.

My main interest is arctic archaeology, especially caribou archaeology in West Greenland. At the
University of Greenland, we have learned about the basics of arctic archaeological methods and
theories. But we have not learned about practical methods in the field, like reconnaissance,
excavations and registrations methods.
That is the reason for my participation in the Noorliit Archaeological Field School
this year, because I want to learn the practical methods such a registrations and excavations
methods, and becoming more experienced.

Currently, I am collecting data in the field, in the ancient caribou hunting landscape at Nassuttooq. The purpose is to register the cultural and ancient features, that have to do with the caribou hunting in the area, such as shooting blinds, tent fundament and rings, cairn systems etc.

In the future, it is my desire to participate in more archaeological research and investigations.
That is my biggest wish.

In the year 1749, the Moravian mission at Noorliit altered their living structure by dividing into chores, based on gender and social status.

Judith, a member of the Inuit congregation, established chore houses in the year 1749, inspired by the organisation of Moravian missions she visited on her travels in Europe and America.

The chore houses were divided based on gender and social status; thus single women lived in one house, single men in three others, later also widows, children and married couple moved into categorized homes (1753, 1756).
The chore house idea was abandoned in 1783, however, women continued to show their social status using different coloured ribbons.

The Noorliit Archaeological Field School is part of the PhD project (at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Ilisimatusarfik - the University of Greenland) called: Colonial encounters: Continuity and change in the cultural encounters between Inuit and the Moravian Brethren in Colonial Greenland. The project investigates how the everyday lives changed for Inuit, who chose to join the Moravian mission.
