Comments
HeCh-6, Sculpin Island East 1: Structure 2, dated by SI-4829, is one of 17 structures described by Kaplan (1983). The date falls in the Dorset time period, but a ground slate fragment, the absence of Ramah chert, and the site's low elevation suggest that the structure dates to the Thule or early contact period.
