Abstract
Janzen describes the excavations and reports on the artifacts and findings from excavations at the Naomikong Point site. This site had a Laurel component, a Late Woodland component, and a historic component. Only the material pertaining to the Laurel componenet was indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) codes. The site was probably used many times for fishing (either late spring or fall) as indicated by fire pits associated with post molds (for drying racks) and a large number of unifacial tools. The site also shows two types of activity areas: one of which is '…interpreted as an activity area of a single social unit whcih could be either the extended or nuclear family. The second area is always adjacent to the first and …is interpreted as a workshop area where both male and female activities are carried out. A large refuse pit is always associated with these areas and their contents include all categories of artifactual and non-artifactual material.' (page 92).
