Comments
DkSf-1, Courtenay River Midden: The site is located on the property of Mrs. Mansfield and is sometimes known as the Mansfield Property site. Certain artifacts suggest San Juan phase relationship, identified with Borden's late phase on Fraser Delta (Carlson 1960). Chipped stone and ground slate points deviate from Borden's types, and the date implies older lower levels than the late Fraser Delta complex. Associated with bone points
