Of Silt, Sand and Paleoindians at Squatec (ClEe-9): An Early Holocene Occupation in a Changing Landscape of Southeastern Quebec

Abstract

The Squatec late Paleoindian site lies in a focal area of an extensive network of valleys connecting the Bay of Fundy to the St. Lawrence estuary. Its complex stratigraphy witnesses to a very dynamic physical and hydrologic environment in the early Holocene and to major natural events that can be traced as far as the upper St. John valley.
