Comments
MkPk-9, Willowherb: This is a small temporary caribou hunters' camp. The small sample of artifacts from the surface of the blowout includes a round-based thin lanceolate biface. The cultural affiliation is not clear, but the date from S-468 is similar to S-465 from Sandwillow (MkPk-6) and S-466 from Lapointe (MkPk-7).
