- KdNw-2, Taltheilei Point: The area had been disturbed by erection of cabins belonging to the Geological Survey of Canada. The amount of charcoal suggests a forest fire rather than burning in a hearth. The surrounding artifacts are typologically earlier than the date, belonging to the Waldron River complex of the Taltheilei tradition. I-5822 may date the same fire as I-5823 from the Pethei Peninsula site (KdNw-4).
