Comments
FeTw-no #, Echo Bay, 1128T: This site spans the intertidal to uppermost subtidal zone of a small bay near the mouth of Echo Harbour. Except for a small area with a buried artifact-rich layer, the sediments have been heavily disturbed by burrowing molluscs and wave action. Apparently the three available dates somehow limit the age of the artifacts, but the field relationships are not yet clearly reported.
