- Comments
- ObPf-7 (00-DCA-092): Nine Palaeoeskimo features occur on raised beaches at this site between 13 and 14 m elevation; two groups of 2 features at 14 m and groups of 3 and 2 up to 1 m lower. Two charcoal samples were collected from features at 14 m: 92a (AA-41578) from beneath a flagstone in a paved area measuring 1.5 x 1.35 m; 92b from beneath a flagstone on the outside western perimeter of an overgrown tent ring 10 m east of the first feature and measuring 2.3 x 1.65 m. A chert projectile point that had been reused as a burin (identified by J.M. Savelle) lay just outside the tent ring. It was photographed and returned to its original position.
