- Comments
- OkHq-VP: Periotic bones were collected in situ from both sides of a bowhead skull 80% buried in peat resting on till. The skull is upside down and has a width of 214 cm. There are many other bones at site, possibly representing an animal killed by ancient people. Two sod houses are located on a point to the northwest.
