Comments
Artifact assemblage is somewhat puzzling. It consists of mostly microblades (88/107 artifacts). Structure also produced a chipped and ground graver, a type previously only known form Pre-Dorset and Early Groswater assemblages; also complete absense of NFLD chert. S-1 collection is composed entirely of Labrador materials. Artifact assemblage has led authors to be not entirely confident of the dates and cultural affiliation of structure.
