- ObPk-6 (00-DCA-012): Five Palaeoeskimo features are situated on a coarse gravel raised beach at 13 m elevation. A single large grain of charcoal was collected from beneath a flagstone in a hearth in the second feature from the east end of the site. The five features are scattered over a distance of 40 m and consist of two midpassages in tent rings, one midpassage without a tent ring, and two hearths. The sampled hearth is 80 x 80 cm, inside dimension, and 100 x 130 cm outside dimension.
