Comments
DkKr-15, Rush Bay Road: Several localities have been investigated, all of them associated with an extension of the Rainy River moraine and located in or near active Ontario government gravel pits. The moraine dates to about 11,000 BP, and there must have been a period of environmental development before human occupation began.
