- Historic Nunamiut site familiar to elders in Anaktuvuk Pass. Site consists of "house pits" (ivrulit?), cache pits, scatters of faunal remains and hearths. This was the first site occupied by the Killikmiut band when the Nunamiut first returned to live inland in the 1940s. Collected 16 July 05. Charcoal was picked out of a bulk sediment sample. In this sample gowth ring limit was hard to distinguish according to C. Alix who analyzed the charcoal in November 2005.
