- DjPk-1, Kenney: This multicomponent site contains three occupation layers in stratified sequence associated with developed Ah soil horizons. The uppermost, Layer 4, represents an Old Women's phase occupation, while the lower two, Layers 6 and 8, represent the Besant phase. It may be noteworthy that two Avonlea points occurred along with 29 Besant points in Layer 6, while five Pelican Lake points were found along with 30 Besant points in Layer 8.
