- Comments
- OePe-31 (00-DCA-175): This site contains a total of 19 Palaeoeskimo features in six groups on raised beach gravel between 12.5 and 14 m elevation. Two charcoal samples were collected: 175a, from beneath boiling stones in an isolated box hearth of 37 x 45 cm interior dimension at 13.5 m elevation; 175b, from beneath boiling stones in a box hearth of 70 x 70 cm dimension in a midpassage at 12.5 m elevation. Near the latter feature are an additional midpassage and two prepared-gravel floor tent rings. In one of these rings a glassy chert (resembling obsidian) burin occurs. In the other is a broken chert projectile point.
