- Comments
- NfVc-1, Whitefish Station (west), comment by D.A. Morrison: this date is on an artifact obtained from a small Western Thule assemblage recovered by MacNeish (1956b), purportedly at Whitefish Station (west). It is within the dendrochronological range of Western Thule, and hence fully acceptable. Its significance is increased by the fact that it is the only Western Thule radiocarbon date not based on such problematic materials as sea mammal products or driftwood charcoal (see Morrison, 1989).
