Both ruin groups are situated in Kujalleq, an eastern branch of Igaliku fjord. Both sites had churches connected. The church at E64 was apparently built at landnam and abolished after some centuries whereas the church at E66 seems to have been in use up to depopulation. We do not know when the first church at E66 was established. As churches connected to farms are used as indicators of wealth the objective of the excavations was to make comparisons between the two sites.
At E64 both the church, church yard and the midden in front of the dwelling were the target for excavations. At E66 the midden was chosen for investigations. The conditions here were however more complicated than foreseen, and the excavations at E66 therefore had to be postponed. Midden excavations were carried out at E68 instead (Figure 1).
