- Comments
- CcCm-30, Cheverie: This is a late prehistoric habitation site. Some shell is associated with the midden. The site is situated on the south bank of a stream that feeds South Lake. A similar deposit occurs at CcCm-12 on the opposite stream bank. Sea mammal hunting and fishing were likely the main activities. A 17th century historic French component occurs in the upper levels of the site deposit.
