- Comments
- MkPk-3, Bloody Falls: The sampled section of the site has two stratified components. The upper consists of a large stone Thule culture house. The lower component belongs to a relatively late Pre-Dorset variant. S-463 is perfectly acceptable, dating the lower component. S-462 obviously does not date the lower component and either was contaminated by organic material washed down from the directly overlying Thule house floor or represents a Thule period occupation which was buried during later construction of the Thule house.
