- Context
- the base of a 2 m thick peat unit on the north side of an island, overlying sand, from the base of a thermokarst basin on an outwash plain
- Associated taxa
- Mammalia: Castor canadensis (gnaw-marks on wood)
- Comments
- NiTl-VP: GSC-2023 is consistent with other dates from thermokarst basins on this outwash plain, and it establishes the early Holocene presence of the beaver somewhat north of its modern range.
