- NePe-4 (99-DCA-254): This site has two Palaeoeskimo mid-passages about 100 m apart on raised beaches at 18 and 19 m elevation. Two samples were collected: 254a, charcoal, shell, and burnt and unburnt bone (later split into 3 samples, charcoal, shell, and bone, the latter mainly fox and bird bones with some ring seal) from a hearth at 0-10 cm depth in open-work gravel from the lower midpassage feature, which measures 3.3 x 1.3 m; and 254b, charcoal and Mytilus edulis fragments from directly below hearth stones in the upper midpassage feature, which measures 2.5 x 1.3 m.
