- Comments
- SgFo-1, Cliff: GSC-3375 represents cultural debris from the floor of a Thule culture winter house related to a poorly known period of occupation in the Bache Peninsula region. The material culture associated suggests that the date is at least 100 years too old, possibly reflecting the selection of dead, dry willow for use as fuel.
