Comments
TjFd-3, West Wind: There are four structures with midpassage features, three tent rings and a cache. Sutherland comments that the dates correspond well with radiocarbon dates from Kettle Lake in Tanquary Fiord on northern Ellesmere Island, and with the range of Independence I dates from Pearyland (Knuth, 1981: 106-107).
