- Comments
- DkSf-3, Comox Bay: The site is on the property of Major Constable and is sometimes known as the Constable Property site. S-141 is considered too recent. The artifacts are similar to Millard Creek (DfSk-2A), and it is possible that the charcoal is intrusive from later culture marked by shell and slate fragments.
