- Caribou femur (not human; did not have sheep femur for comparison, but good match to caribou) (P. Matheus). From deflated surface context within a dune blowout containing notched point and microblade scatter “D”. The site consists of a large volume of FCR and faunal remains and some stone tools including lanceolate projectile points, a notched projectile point, microblade cores and microblades, and mitten-shaped burins. More than a dozen radiocarbon dates on bone range from 2530 to 8290 BP. The cultural materials are found largely in a deflated surface context, but intact stratified deposits remain.
