Comments
DhAi-6, Cape Cove 2: The site is situated on the same ridge as Cape Cove 1. Eleven features were identified, including eight hearths, a large red ochre and charcoal stain (Feature 2), and a pile of uncharred stones (Feature 6) above a sheet of birch bark (Feature 11). The only date obtained is assigned to the Beaches complex, although it is somewhat earlier than previously indicated.
