Caribou ulna (according to P. Matheus; "no sheep ulna available for comparison, but was cervid-like, not bovid-like"). The specimen came from a deflated surface context within notched point and microblade scatter “D.” The site consists of a large volume of FCR and faunal remains and some stone tools including lanceolate projectile points, a notched projectile point, microblade cores and microblades, and mitten-shaped burins. More than a dozen radiocarbon dates on bone range from 2530 to 8290 BP. The cultural materials are found largely in a deflated surface context, but intact stratified deposits remain.
