- QkPa-1, McCormick Inlet: W.E.S. Henoch, Geographical Branch in Ottawa, collected artifacts from a prehistoric dwelling. The artifacts were identified as Dorset by W.E. Taylor, Jr. The site constituted the northwesternmost occurrence of Dorset yet discovered. The elevation and date suggest that isostatic rebound has been less than 1.8 m during the last 1.5 millennia.
