- Comments
- MjVk-4, Lazarus: This is a riverside campsite of about 100 square metres or more, with cultural deposits of varying densities. The remains include several hearth and midden-like deposits and a semisubterranean housepit feature. The site is believed to contain the remains of a prehistoric "culture" that has yet to be fully characterized. Similar material is known to occur at the nearby Old Chief site. It is, however, different from the late prehistoric Athabaskan assemblage at the nearby Klo-kut site. Le Blanc (1984) included the Lazarus site in his Old Chief phase.
