Comments
EcLx-VP: This site yielded bones and plant remains that may have been deposited during an interstadial. Klassen comments that the close resemblance of bones to those of Arctic ground squirrel (Spermophilus parryii) and tundra vole (Microtus oeconomus) suggest that the silt is an interstadial deposit. Harington, however, declines to mention species names.
