Remarkable depressions SW of new Cheslatta grave site
Remarkable depressions SW of new Cheslatta grave site
Particularly well preserved and with distinct rims on the LiDAR, partially within CCN private Land
Identified by Marco from CCN 2017 LiDAR.
Brendan Miller (geomorphologist): "...ridge to the east could be a cliff-top dune. Winds that are coming across the lake are deflected upwards by the cliff causing a dune to form at the top edge, right along the edge. I have seen these at least 4 m high along the Fraser. The holes on the delta surface look like archaeological features that I have seen along the Fraser, but I am not sure of their scale."
Cheslatta Lake putative paleo shorelines west of IR5-Belgatse
Cheslatta Lake putative paleo shorelines west of IR5-Belgatse
Cheslatta trail cross-cutting putative paleo-shorelines, indicating that the first post-dates the latter. There are also some depressions that could be cultural.
Identified by Marco from CCN 2017 LiDAR.

Circular depressions in reservoir-flooded topography.
Identified by Marco from Reservoir Bathymetry (Triton Env. dataset).
Dana E.: "I suspect the large depressions are natural kettle features but that does not mean they weren’t utilized culturally, I’m sure they were. This is exactly what we are dealing with at the village site at Tatichek Lake. It would be interesting to utilize underwater drone technology to see these features if possible. There has been no recent archaeological survey in this area as far as I can tell from a RAAD search."
AOI across Huckleberry Mine
AOI across Huckleberry Mine
There might be a particularly archaeologically rich area opposite to the Huckleberry mine: density of potential cultural depressions over a large area.
Identified by Marco from Reservoir Bathymetry (Triton Env. dataset).
