Site HbKu-08 is located on a south facing small sandy beach that is part of a

larger peninsula. The shoreline was noted to be treed with willows, alder, black
spruce, and various grasses. The site is considered a lithic workshop due to the
small scatter of lithic stone flakes and tools recovered. Access to the location C M
was difficult. The site visits occurred in 2004, 2012, 2013 and 2015.
