- LdRq-2, Yellow Lake: RIDDL-345 was found to contain little collagen, and the resulting date is essentially meaningless. It was hoped that it would provide an age on a small lithic assemblage characterized by extensive use of welded tuff and by an unusual, poorly known blade technology associated with a variety of lanceolate points. The assemblage bears no obvious relationships with known late prehistoric manifestations elsewhere in the boreal northwest.
