Comments
EbRc-3, Lake Corner: This is a small single semi-subterranean house site, differing from the usual interior Plateau pithouse by its small size. Possible Athabaskan afffiliation is suggested by one projectile point. This would be the only archaeological evidence for Athabaskans in the Nicola Valley, territory of the now extinct Nicola. In view of the scarcity of diagnostic artifacts, Wyatt finds it difficult to assess the date, but the age renders an Athabaskan affiliation highly unlikely.
