- Comments
- EiBg-20, Blanc-Sablon (Templier): The site is assigned to the Maritime Archaic tradition. Artifacts include short contracting stemmed points and scrapers, mostly of rose quartzite. Marois considers that the terrace elevation and distance to the nearest water suggest that the date is too recent. Commentaires (R. Marois): On ne peut affirmer qu'il y a association stricte entre les charbons de bois et la concentration de vestiges sous le paléosol. On présume cependant que les charbons de bois ont été déposés par les mêmes gens et que la date s'appliquera à l'occupation dont les vestiges sont situés sous le paléosol.
