Comments
NbTj-8, Verna Mae Firth: The site contains an Arctic Small-Tool tradition component underlying a late prehistoric Athapaskan semi-subterranean feature. Pilon notes that S-3000 and S-3363 were collected from the same Palaeoeskimo hearth. The latter was expected to corroborate the former, but it was obtained from a higher level within the feature where it may have been exposed to contaminants from the surface.
