- Comments
- NgVh-1, Trail River, comment by R. Le Blanc: the site consists of a caribou hunting camp located on the middle portion of the Trail River, Yukon Coastal Plain. RIDDL-365, -342, and -343 were obtained from specimens recovered from a semi-circular cobble structure which was probably a hunting blind. All three suggest a late prehistoric Mackenzie Inuit occupation. RIDDL-544 suggests a much earlier occupation than that which is indicated by the dates for Feature 1. It therefore implies intermittent reuse of the site over a period of several centuries, presumably by the Mackenzie Inuit.
