- BaGn-VP, Paynter Marsh South: Beta-26660 dates a left tibia of a caribou to a time period co-eval with late Archaic populations in the area. The Paynter Marsh locality has also produced a caribou femur shaft that contained polleniferous sediment within the marrow cavity. The pollen assemblage resembles Zone 3, suggesting an age between 7500 and 5000 BP.
