- Comments
- BjCo-5, McDonald Farm: The site extends along the beach of the most southerly bay on the island covering an area about 30 x 15 m up to 43 cm deep. The sample was considered to represent faunal remains directly associated with the prehistoric midden, but it may have included intrusive material. The cultural remains represent a maritime-adapted culture, possibly antecedents of the ethnohistoric Micmac.
