Abstract

Abstract A review of historical documents concerning the 1859 discovery of the skeleton of a member of the 1845 Franklin expedition on southern King William Island revealed a significant but previously unrecognized geographical error about the site’s reported and mapped location. Archeological investigations conducted in 2019 established the site’s correct location and the fact that it had unwittingly been rediscovered in 1973. Misconceptions concerning the site’s location and key aspects of its interpretation highlight the importance of careful evaluation of historical and archeological data regarding the 1845 Franklin expedition.

发现“哈里·佩格拉”：重新审视1859年麦克林托克探险队发现的富兰克林探险队水手骨架

摘要对1859年在威廉国王岛南部发现1845年富兰克林探险队一名成员骨架的历史文献的回顾表明，该遗址的报告和地图位置存在一个重大但以前未被承认的地理错误。2019年进行的考古调查确定了该遗址的正确位置，以及它在1973年被无意中重新发现的事实。关于该遗址的位置和解释的关键方面的误解突出了仔细评估1845年富兰克林探险队的历史和考古数据的重要性。
