- HcLx-1, Leaf Rapids Portage (SIL 1): Artifact recoveries range from early Archaic to recent Historic, including Duncan/Hanna, Shield Archaic, Besant and Larter projectile points, and Laurel and Clearwater Lake pottery. No cultural material was associated with GaK-6056, although Archaic artifacts were found in Area A. Kroker (1990: 60) notes that "The faunal remains recovered are probably associated with more recent occupations, due to the deleterious effects of forest fires and humic acids in the soils. The utilized species are moose, bear, beaver, fisher, loon, duck and pike."
