The site is located on the south shore of Gull Lake on the east point of a small

bay just west of Box Bay, approximately 0.7 km south of Isle “D.” The shoreline
of the site is composed of sand and small cobbles that lead to a relatively open
terrace. Artifacts were initially recovered near the tree line. Vegetation at the
site consisted of grass, willow, birch, and spruce. The site was named after one
of the TCN students that recorded the site in 2004. Site visits occurred in 2004,
2012, 2015 and 2018.
