Comments
CdHk-3, Foxie Lake: Cooper and Savage (1994: 34) report that remnants of hearths were the major type of shallow feature found during 1981 excavations of this multicomponent site. All recovered faunal specimens were mammal, and 99% were thermally altered. Moose was the only positively identified species present, but tentative identifications include porcupine or beaver, marten, and a canid tooth. Green-bone fracturing was common. It is not clear which component(s) yielded the faunal remains, and they are listed arbitrarily with the oldest Woodland date.
