- Comments
- LlDv-10, Sandy Point: This Pre-Dorset site is being destroyed by wave action, runoff, wind, and ice. Part of it has become an island and is distinguished as the island component as opposed to the mainland component. A basal peat date provides an estimate of the minimum age of the occupation.
