摘要

1949 年,加拿大皇家骑警探长亨利-拉森(Henry Larsen)在努纳武特地区威廉国王岛费利克斯角附近发现了一具人类骸骨,经鉴定,这是一名成年男性,祖籍欧洲,是 1845 年富兰克林西北航程探险队的成员。这一鉴定从未受到质疑,而且被认为对重建富兰克林探险队的命运具有重要意义,因为这名水手的死亡时间可能早于 1848 年 4 月埃里伯斯号和恐怖号的遗弃时间,而且在胜利角和菲利克斯角之间从未发现过其他探险队人员的遗骸。这项研究的目的是重新审查将这具骸骨的祖先解释为欧洲人的依据。对档案记录的审查揭示了以前未曾公布过的有关发现地点和背景的细节,对骸骨的古老程度和关键形态特征的重新评估表明,这些骸骨是一具成年男性伊努克人的骸骨,与 1845 年富兰克林探险队没有任何联系。

British sailor or Inuk? A reappraisal of the ancestry of human skeletal remains found in 1949 by Henry Larsen, Cape Felix, King William Island

In 1949, human skeletal remains discovered by RCMP Inspector Henry Larsen near Cape Felix, King William Island, Nunavut, were identified as an adult male of European ancestry and a member of the 1845 Franklin Northwest Passage Expedition. The identification has never been questioned and is considered significant to reconstructions of the fate of the Franklin expedition because the sailor’s death presumably pre-dated the desertion of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in April 1848 and because no other human remains of expedition personnel have ever been found between Victory Point and Cape Felix. The aim of this study was to re-examine the basis on which the ancestry of the skeleton was interpreted to be European. A review of archival records revealed previously unpublished details concerning the location and context of the discovery, and re-assessments of the antiquity and of key morphological attributes of the bones suggest they are those of an adult male Inuk and have no connection to the 1845 Franklin expedition.
