Comments
LbPf-5, Deception Point: This is a late component of the Tundra tradition. S-476 indicates a late occurrence of small tools, including microblades and burins, in interior Mackenzie District. The lower and earlier date, I-4376, represents the earliest evidence for forest burning in the tundra-taiga region of this area.
