HbKu-02 was recorded in 2001 during the initial heritage studies. At that time,

the site was noted to be on a flat terrace that rose steeply about 10 m above the
water. The area was cleared with several cabins. A log teepee partially covered A
in moss was located at the site. The door of the teepee faced east-southeast. A
single circle of stones was in the center of the teepee. The archaeologists were
told that Late Allison Kitchekeesik built the teepee to show the youth how the
people once lived. Subsequent surveys resulted in the recovery of artifacts from
Pre-European Contact and Historic periods. In 2013, a forest fire destroyed the C M
teepee and cabins. Site visits occurred in 2001, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014,
2017, and 2019.
