Comments
NhTn-1, Gutchiak: This is a late prehistoric Inuvialuit site. Morrison notes that the modern dates cannot possibly represent the age of the site and must reflect either lab error or unidentified contamination. All three dates, from different depths in the site, are equally affected. Fauna: Aves, Gavia immer, Podiceps grisegena, Cygnus sp, Anserini, Anatinae, Haliaeetus or Aquila, Tetraoninae, Scolopacidae, Stercorarius sp, Larus hyperboreus, Corvus corax; Pisces, Clupea harengus, Salvelinus namaycush, Stenodus leucichthys, Coregonus or Prosopium, Esox lucius, Gadidae, Cottidae
