- Comments
- NkRh-3, Pearce Point: House 4 is an early Thule component of a small, coastal winter village. While analyzing the vertebrate remains from W.E. Taylor's assemblage from House 4, D.A. Morrison submitted two more radiocarbon samples that produced dates much younger than those obtained by Taylor. It may be noteworthy that Taylor's samples were recovered from below the house floor whereas Morrison's were on or above it.
