- EfQt-1, Fraser Bay: This site was first occupied during the latter part of the Lochnore phase, ca. 4500-3500 BP. The main occupations occurred during the Shuswap phase, 3500-2400 BP, and site use on a smaller scale continued during the Thompson phase (2400-1200 BP) and the Kamloops phase (1200-200 BP). Two of the three radiocarbon dates are thought to reflect natural forest fires, and only the Kamloops component is directly dated.
