Description
During the occupation of this site, a lowering of the Lake Huron water level resulted in dramatic ecological changes that are clearly reflected in the subsistence pattern of the Archaic hunters and fishermen. Cultural continuity is seen to exist from the Archaic (Inverhuron Archaic) through the Initial Woodland (Saugeen culture) periods and an unbroken tradition, referred to as the Inverhuron tradition, is proposed with a time span of more than 1,600 years.
