Comments
JaDb-10, Avayalik Island 1: The site encompasses about 1200 sq m of rich Middle Dorset midden deposit and house depressions, which are probably associated with both Middle and Late Dorset occupations. SI-3864 conforms well with other Late Dorset sites in northern Labrador dated to the 13th century. The other dates are satisfactory for the Middle Dorset occupation of this site.
