Comments
JcUr-3, Annie Lake: Greer (1993) recognizes four components in this site: Component 1, Aishihik phase (late prehistoric Athabaskan); Level 2, White River tephra; Component 3A, Taye Lake phase, with two radiocarbon dates; Component 3B, Annie Lake complex; and Component 3C, Little Arm phase, with one anomalous radiocarbon date, S-2427, that may be a burned root. A subsequent excavation by Greg Hare resulted in seven more dates that have not been presented in detail.
