NhPk-1 (99-DCA-179): This single dwelling structure (mid-passage approximately 0.9 x 2.2 m with several chert flakes in association) is situated on a raised beach 8 m above high tide. The site is unvegetated. Charcoal was collected directly below a hearth stone from the surface of medium, open-work gravel.
