- ObPf-12 (00-DCA-101): Two Palaeoeskimo features occur on medium gravel raised beaches at this site, an isolated midpassage at 21.5 m elevation and another 100 m to the east at 19 m elevation. Two samples were collected from the 21.5 m midpassage, which measures 3.05 x 1.25 m within a stone scatter measuring 3.14 x 3.15 m. Sample 101a (AA-41501) is a small charcoal sample from a hearth. Sample 101b is burnt and unburnt bones from the hearth and from beneath flagstones elsewhere in the feature. Identifiable bones are from ringed seal.
