- Comments
- RaJu-3, Maze: This is a single component Late Dorset occupation site comprising three dwellings and an extensive flagstone pavement. Beta-153137 was expected to agree more closely with Beta-153136 from nearby RaJu-1, but the earlier age is acceptable and may explain differences in the artifact assemblages from the two sites.
