Comments
IeKn-6, Seahorse Gully: This site contains Pre-Dorset and Dorset components. S-521 should date the most southerly extension of Pre-Dorset culture along west coast of Hudson Bay area. S-738 provides a limiting age on the Pre-Dorset occupation as it indicates when Hudson Bay waters were 35 m above present level (Andrews et al., 1971). I-3973 pertains to the Dorset component.
