Comments
MlTk-2, Vidiitshuu Leetak: This is a multicomponent site with a late prehistoric semi-subterranean feature and an Arctic Small-tool Tradition component. Pilon notes that the hearth dated by S-3442 must represent an earlier occupation than the structure dated by S-2937. S-3443 should have been older than S-3442, and the former may represent a burned root. Beta-51302 was selected from calcined and unburned faunal remains near a well defined Palaeoeskimo component, but there was no clearly defined hearth feature. The result indicates a more recent deposition of the specimen.
