- Comments
- ObPj-10 (00-DCA-040): Many Palaeoeskimo midpassage features occur on several beach levels at this site. Two groups with 19 and 7 features occur at 13 m elevation, 1 feature at 11.5-12 m, 2 features at 11 m, and 4 features at 9.5 m. In addition, two Thule features occur on the 13 m level. The two features on the 11 m level are midpassages about 50 m apart on coarse gravel. Charcoal was collected from a hearth in the easternmost of these, which measures 2.9 x 2.4 m.
