Comments
SiHw-1, Buchanan Lake: The site contains two Thule houses and a number of Dorset tent rings. The Dorset occupation is late on stylistic grounds. Morrison (1989: 69) notes that there are two stratigraphically separable Thule components. One, dated by I-12341, represents Classic Thule, while the other, dated by S-2212 and I-11755, may probably be attributed to the Modified Thule phase.
