Comments
GeEl-1, Lac Lemaître: Taillon and Barré present this as a Shield Archaic site whereas Denton includes it in a list of late prehistoric sites. Comments by D. Denton: While we were surprised at this date, which falls within a period that we had previously identified as a cultural "hiatus," it is plausible and there is no strong reason to reject it.
