[Herbert C. Kraft et al. (1994)] distinct periods of usage since the arrival of Europeans in the St. Lawrence River valley. These periods can loosely be described as the modern camping period, the historic cottage period, and the historic recreation period. However, only those finds pertaining to the pre-European period will be discussed here. Despite problems in readily discerning deposition sequences, the horizontal distribution of artifacts has retained some of its original integrity. Definite spatial discard patterns suggest that there were at least two main activity areas during the native period, both of which are centered around hearth features (Figure 3). With respect to these hearths, although very few bones were recovered from the site, the majority of these (i.e., 20 out of 29) were calcined and were found in direct association with one of the hearths. Of tremendous importance has been the retrieval of a radiocarbon sample (SRC #S-3456) from the other hearth that has been dated to 850 ± 170 years B.P.-in other words, a mean date of A.D. 1100. One activity area was marked by compacted sand and the relative absence of artifacts. In the absence of post molds, this area of compaction could indicate an intramural living floor, an exterior activity area, or a traffic corridor bisecting the gully and the camp. The other discernible activity area produced a small assemblage of paint stone (i.e. limonite) and hematite nodules, as well as a hammerstone fragment.
