- Comments
- JcRw-8, MacLeod: This is a stratified site with three prehistoric occupations. One component is below lake silt, and two are mixed on top of the soil profile. Excavation during the second season showed GSC-844 to be related to a large hearth on top of the mineral soil. The date was confirmed for the western part of the site by GSC-1033. The latter sample is from the eastern hearth associated with the same component as the former, tentatively considered transitional between Fish Lake and Mackenzie complexes. Artifacts included small half-moon side blades, double-ended end scrapers, strangulated blades, and small plano-convex end scrapers found with other artifacts similar to the preceding Fish Lake complex or the succeeding Mackenzie complex.
