- Comments
- CaDu-1, Kitchen: The site is located on the upper terrace beside an unnamed creek. This is the first Archaic site in the Maritime Provinces to be dated by C14. It is the oldest known site in the Mactaquac reservoir area. Sanger considers that GaK-1864 is obviously wrong. Further excavation will be required to acquire more charcoal for dating.
