Style and culture of the native people who live along the shores of Ungava Bay, on the south shore of Hudson Strait, and on the eastern coast of Hudson Bay.

Culturally close to the Inuit southeast of Baffin Island and to the Labrador Inuit, the Ungava nevertheless differ from these tribes in a number of linguistic and technological respects and in their social and religious customs.

Contenedores probablemente utilizados para mantener ungüentos y perfumes. Los primeros ejemplos de cerámica encontrados en Petra (probablemente del siglo IV a.C.) se encontraban en la forma típica helenística de botella con cabeza, pero esta forma fue más tarde reemplazada por completo por una serie de tipos de cuello alto con vuelta a cuerpos ovoidales de diferentes formas y aparentemente estandarizados (a partir del siglo I a.C). El número de unguentarios encontrados en Petra sugiere que fueron hechas localmente, cuya fabricación se ha relacionado con la mirra y otros ungüentos que los nabateos comercializaban. Ellos también se han encontrado en los sitios occidentales. Unguentarios de vidrio en forma de pera se hicieron más tarde en diversos lugares de la península arábe.
