Comments
LcRq-3, Seismic: A single prehistoric component was found on a knoll-like beach terrace, well delineated to the north and south by small gullies. The remains of a small camp are associated with a cache containing stone and bone. Although the date is well off the estimated age, there is no reason to reject it. The assemblage may represent a late prehistoric Athapaskan occupation of the area.
