- Comments
- RcJh-3, Cardigan Strait: The site is 300 m inland from the present shore and 450 m south of a major stream cutting through the beaches. GSC-2178 is quite acceptable, within the range of eight dates on driftwood charcoal associated with similar cultural material from Port Refuge (RbJu-1), Devon Island, and from northern Greenland.
