Comments
GbIj-2, Shamattawa Rapids: A collection of 71 items of Hudson Bay Lowland chert is believed to comprise a homogeneous assemblage from which pottery and faunal remains are absent. Two radiocarbon dates are too discordant to be averaged, but they occurred in correct stratigraphic sequence within the excavated level.
