- Comments
- IgLx-1, Egenolf Lake: The site consists of a deeply buried occupation layer with several hearths and considerable bone and scrapers. Although not in situ, a small side-notched point was probably associated. GaK-2342 will date the site and the side-notched point. The complex may be related to the historic Chipewyan of the area. Comment by Nash: the date seems somewhat late in view of 25-50 cm of sand overlying the occupation layer, but it is compatible with the small side-notched point. The artifacts contribute to the heterogeneity of the late transitional forest occupations perhaps attributable to Chipewyan. Heterogeneity may be the result of seasonal, functional or historical factors. Nash (1975: 31-33) concluded that the occupation probably represents the winter season.
