Fourteen Thule Culture Inuit mummies are described here, including remarks on the cultural and archaeological setting of the Thule people. The mummy finds pertain to two mummy caches: six mummies found near Nuuk, at the site Pissisarfik, and eight mummies from Qilakitsoq. The latter find is the biggest mummy find in the Arctic. The mummies are all children and females. Although their state of preservation is uneven, much data about the Thule culture people has been gleaned from them. This includes the use of facial tattooing, Paleopathology and isotopic and genetic data.
本文描述了14具图勒文化因纽特木乃伊，包括对图勒人的文化和考古背景的评论。这些木乃伊发现于两个木乃伊藏身处：在努克附近的皮西萨尔菲克遗址发现了6具木乃伊，在基拉基索克发现了8具木乃伊。后者是北极地区最大的木乃伊发现。这些木乃伊均为儿童和女性。尽管它们的保存状况参差不齐，但从中收集到了许多关于图勒文化人群的资料。这包括面部纹身的使用、古病理学以及同位素和基因数据。
