Comments
QdLe-VP: A periotic bone was collected in situ from a juvenile bowhead cranial fragment 90% buried in beach gravel. There were few other bones at this site. This date can be compared to GSC-2224, 4410 +/- 70 BP on driftwood from 21.5 metres on the west coast of Lowther Island (Lowdon and Blake, 1979: 41).
