Comments
GbEl-10, Lac Huguet, comments by D. Denton: There are no European-derived materials or artifacts associated with this site, nor are there typologically distinctive stone tools. The date is very plausible and in line with those from some other sites (GcEl-19E, GaEj-1A, GaEl-1, GbEl-8, etc.) where the use of quartz is important in a late prehistoric or early historic context.
