- ObPj-9 (00-DCA-038): Three Palaeoeskimo midpassage features, one with boiling stones, are situated on a coarse gravel raised beach at 13.5 m at this site. Two additional features occur on the 13 m level. Charcoal (AA-40855), burnt bone, and unburnt bone were collected from beneath the boiling stones at 13.5 m. About half way to the coast from this site, at 7 m elevation, are a squarish tent ring and an external hearth.
