- Comments
- IhFi-6, Cartier: The site is 152 m long, 4.6-36.6 m wide, 2.1 m above the lake level. Cultural features are confined to several stone foundations, cache piles, tent rings, a dam, and a causeway. Lee notes that S-1200, if Thule, is remarkably early for the area. S-1201 is an early date since trade goods in general arrived from Fort Chimo around A.D. 1832. If the date is correct, it implies trading contact with the St. Lawrence valley or James Bay. The nails appear to be of English origin, but this is not certain.
