- Comments
- ObPj-7 (00-DCA-035): Two Palaeoeskimo features about 70 m apart are situated on a medium gravel raised beach at this site, which starts at an alluvial fan. One sample was collected from beneath boiling stones in the centre of the feature which is farther from the fan. This amorphous stone scatter (loose tent ring) is 2 x 3 m. A complete chert projectile point (arrow head) was found under a flagstone, photographed and left at its original position.
