- Scapula of small caribou or possibly sheep (no sheep was available for comparison during ID by P. Matheus). The sample came from Robertson’s Area “B" and is associated with GAAR 10363, a green-orange linear flake. The site consists of a large volume of FCR and faunal remains and some stone tools including lanceolate projectile points, a notched projectile point, microblade cores and microblades, and mitten-shaped burins. More than a dozen radiocarbon dates on bone range from 2530 to 8290 BP. The cultural materials are found largely in a deflated surface context, but intact stratified deposits remain.
