- Comments
- NbTj-9: A six sq m area contains Arctic Small-Tool tradition implements surrounding a hearth feature. Pilon notes that S-3362 and S-3378 obviously do not date the Palaeoeskimo artifacts. The site matrix was quite coarse and frequently exposed by caribou using a trail that crossed the hearth feature. Moreover, the thin surface vegetation of caribou moss often became dry and brittle following periods of little or no rainfall, thus exposing the surface of the hearth to contamination from more recent carbon sources.
