- Site contains fire cracked rock, bone, and hammerstones (cobble style, linear) battered on one end. Also 12 flakes that are very small (.5 cm average size) and made of black chert, red chert, gray and white chalcedony. Located west of lake on the north side of the lake outlet stream overlooking the lake about 100 ft. above the water on a very steep slope on the edge of a hogback ridge. A test pit was excavated and some bone samples collected for dating. Faunal remains included a caribou metatarsal fragment, an unidentified large mammal rib fragment, and miscellaneous large mammal long bone fragments.
