- Comments
- FdSi-3, Daniktco: Large circular basin-shaped housepit, characterized by presence of microblades. Roasting pit adjacent to house. Three dates appear to confirm the persistence of microblade use in the Anahim Lake area for a number of centuries following their disappearance in the Fraser Valley. The date on the roasting pit (GaK-3796) tends to confirm its association with the house. Wilmeth (1978b: 151) notes that the house form is non-protohistoric Chilcotin and resembles (except for size) the Suzchet house at Goose Point (FcSi-1) and the the Bes Yaz and Tl'okut houses at the Potlatch site (FcSi-2).
