- Comments
- FjPp-1, Mace: The site is situated 46 m from the modern shoreline but was once closer to the lake shore when it may have been on a small bay or backshore slough with an associated cobble beach. The main feature of the site is a basin-shaped cooking pit containing many fish bones, one mammal tooth fragment, and fired rocks. By comparing the range of dates and "comparable lithic technology" to Strathcona Park (FjPi-29), Pollock (1981: 152) concludes that this is an Oxbow site, although no Oxbow points were found.
