- EeBi-2, Port au Choix 3: This is a large cemetery of the Port au Choix phase of Maritime Archaic. Except for Y-2609, which is clearly older than the burial in which the bog iron was placed, the dates indicate that nearly a millennium, and perhaps somewhat longer, is represented by various loci within the site. Locus I contains 10 individuals; locus II, 89; locus IV, 2; locus V, 8; and locus VI, 1 individual.
