- EjBe-10, Pinware Hill (Harp's Pinware West 3): McGhee and Tuck consider this to be the earliest site in their sequence, and they suggest that it is Harp's Pinware W-3 site. They consider it to represent late Palaeoindian or early Maritime Archaic people and to date between 9000 and 8000 BP. Of five radiocarbon dates from this site, SI-2309 is the only one that falls within this interval, and it was obtained after McGhee and Tuck published their analysis. The other four dates are considered suspect, because they were based on samples of scattered charcoal that could have been contaminated by forest fires and other causes. Tuck (1978) lists this site as EjBd-10.
