Area of Independence I and II culture
The Independence I culture was a Paleo Eskimo culture that existed in northern Greenland from 2400 to 1000 BC. The culture is named after the Independencefjord in northwest of Greenland where the center of culture lay. During this time, this culture lived next to the Saqqaq culture in southern Greenland. Independence II culture originated in the same place in the 8th century BC, about 600 years after the disappearance of the Independence I culture. The most important archaeological discoveries of both Independence cultures were done by Danish explorer Eigil Knuth. Social organization
There has been little research into the social organization of the Independence I culture, but the analysis of several homes can be estimated that a family consisted of about 4 to 6 people and lived in one residence. The homes of the Independence I culture consisted of round tents with a solid opening and a built-in square fireplace. Often, five of these types of homes are found, indicating a group of about 20 to 30 people. However, there is nothing known about any seasonal trek.
