Yes, and some people seem to think that the dunlendings allowed the dwarves to live there. That is doubtful, it is more likely the dwarves just came and used the land for as long as they needed and did not talk to the dunlendings beforehand. Possibly the only reason the dunlendings did not try to drive the dwarves off was because they were probably pretty numerous.
