Comments
FjCa-24, Sid Blake: Situated on a terrace 7.6 m above the river, it covers an area of about 335 sq m. It is the major site defining the North West River phase of the Shield Archaic tradition. Like several other anomalous dates of similar age, SI-1288 may represent a widespread forest fire.
