- JcRw-3, Klondike: Three site areas are known as North Klondike (JcRw-3A), Central Klondike (JcRw-3B), and South Klondike (JcRw-3C). North Klondike yielded evidence of four prehistoric components beneath an historic occupation, but no radiocarbon dates were obtained. South Klondike yielded 26 geological "floors" of which one, Stratum 24, was dated by I-3196. Central Klondike is the most extensively explored area of the site, and one historic and five prehistoric components were distinguished. Among seven radiocarbon dates there are several reversals with respect to the stratigraphy and two instances of discrepancy between pairs of samples with similar provenience (GSC-846 and I-3191; GaK-1275 and GaK-2338). At least two dates, S-1252 and GaK-2338 were apparently submitted after Millar's (1968) analysis, and these are difficult to integrate into the sequence.
