- NhPk-5 (99-DCA-199): This site is on a raised gravel beach at 12.75 m elevation. It consists of a series of 22+ features along approximately 100 m parallel to shore. Most are scattered or poorly defined tent rings, while several are isolated hearths. Three samples were collected: 199a (TO-8538), chunky charcoal from an isolated box hearth, 3-15 cm depth; 199b, bird bone from same hearth, 3-15 cm depth; 199c, fine grained charcoal from a probable hearth in a midpassage 10 m northwest of 199a.
