- This stratified two-component site is located on a high bank rising about 5-6 m above the west shore of Itkillik Lake. Waste flakes, retouched flakes, worked bone and antler (an awl, wedge, leister prong, and needle), side blades, inset blades, end blades, flake knives, and points were locatd during surface reconnaissance and subsurface testing of deposits up to 55 cm deep. The sample comes from scattered charcoal above the house floor - not associated with artifacts.
