- Comments
- EeNg-6, Bethune: A human burial pit contained portions of seven individuals and associated grave goods. The site was extensively disturbed by cultivation, by a deliberate front-end loader cut, and by looting. A salvage excavation recovered some artifacts, including one Avonlea side-notched point, along with faunal remains from documented associations within the burial pit.
