Comments
KfDf-2, Kuyait 1: Twelve dwellings, four caches, and three tent rings have been identified on a sage meadow enclave at the southwest entrance of Wiswell Inlet. Houses 3, 5, and 8 have been dated by radiocarbon samples, and an additional date was obtained from a Dorset midden situated beneath House 11. A zooarchaeological analysis has been presented by Henshaw for Houses 5, 8, 11, and 12, but only the fauna from House 8 is directly associated with a radiocarbon date.
