Old Skeletons Find a Grave in the Arctic
Eskimos buried in the Arctic on dry hilltops, leaving bodies on the surface rather than in graves. The practice, described under Bishop P. T. Rowe, spanned Cape Prince of Wales to Labra dor, and was seen as natural due to permafrost and water-filled graves. Mourning was brief, with no flowers or dirges, as the dead were laid upon snow and left beside their belongings for generations.
