- Comments
- CjAx-1, L'Anse à Flamme: Three prehistoric components include Maritime Archaic, Palaeoeskimo, and a recent Indian occupation. The recent Indian component is assigned to the Little Passage complex. The Palaeoeskimo component represents a Dorset occupation that yielded a single rim sherd of Point Peninsula pottery presumed to be an exotic item obtained by trade. It is the first aboriginal potsherd found in Newfoundland.
