- Comments
- BdCw-1, Skora = Whites Lake: The site is 15 m asl and was first exposed during subdivision development. The main feature of the site is a cremation burial with associated chert blades and celts, culturally very similar to Middlesex sites in the Northeast, and with strong similarities to the Augustine mound in northeastern New Brunswick. In addition there is a later Woodland component.
