- Comments
- DhAi-1, Cape Freels 1: Carignan notes that the localities dated by the Saskatchewan lab were initially guess-dated to the late terminal Archaic period, 1000-300 BC, prior to the arrival of Dorset. All three dates indicate an occupation during and slightly later than the Dorset period and may alter previous conceptions of the cultural sequence of insular Newfoundland. Tuck lists I-7507 as a "Proto-Beothuck" date and finds it acceptable.
