14. Sloppy to say land bridge as meant island/coastal hopping over a long period of time,

not trudging across land and ice.

Map at first link does not cover the site. Second map barely has the site location within the Inland Passage.

The survey had a detailed plan and was timed to one of the lowest tides of the year; what was found was 10-15 feet below the normal 1994 water line. Ocean level was much lower when humans lived there because there was much more ice to melt. Areas that had more potential for cultural sites had more detailed surveys and the more qualified surveyors. The project and Fed archeologists were jazzed. Found the name and number of the report of the initial assessment and two databases where report can be found just now on internet. The archeologists thought the site was the oldest known site in Southeast Alaska when found in 1994.
