Abstract
Larsen excavated two caves near Trail Creek. This document describes the excavations, stratigraphy, and his findings. The caves contain evidence that people used them as temporary shelters or as lookouts for caribou from 15,000 years ago to 1760 AD Cave 2 contained most of the datable evidence for use of the cave during the Paleo-Arctic tradition. The evidence consists of caribou and other animal bones, antler shafts that would have held microblades, and a few lithic tools. Only the data that pertain to the Paleo-Arctic tradition were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
