- Context
- small circular hearth, Unit D, 100N/100W, surrounded by lithic scatter
- Comments
- NbTj-17: This is a small Arctic Small-tool tradition campsite. Pilon comments that the date, despite its large error, is quite consistent with the lithic assemblage and with S-3000 from a similar component at the Verna Mae Firth site (NbTj-8). Like NbTj-8, and unlike NbTj-9, the site matrix was quite fine and apparently reduced the downward percolation of more recent carbon.
