- Comments
- DfRu-3, Harbour House: This is a seasonal shellfish harvesting camp occupied for approximately 2000 years. The excavations yielded only 32 aboriginal artifacts. Most of the normalized ages fall within the Locarno Beach time period, but these same samples are of Marpole age when corrected for the marine reservoir effect.
