Abstract
Dawson excavated and analyzed the remains from the multi-component Wabinosh River site. The site contains Laurel Tradition and Blackduck Tradition artifacts. Only the Laurel Tradition data were indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) codes. The earlier Laurel Tradition phase has Archaic-like lithics, while the later Laurel Tradition ceramics show a mix of some Selkirk and Blackduck-like traits. The author believes the earlier Laurel phase was a result of 'residual Archaic peoples and new peoples from the south' (page 3) and that the Blackduck Tradition also started with an influx of new peoples.
