It was reported to the Yukon Archaeologist and assigned a Borden number of JeUs-28. The site is located on a terrace above two beaver ponds that have formed along the creek. Preliminary excavation was conducted on the site in July 1995 and August 1996. The report examines the findings of the 1997 fieldwork and considers this in relationship to the findings of previous field seasons. The site lies presently within an area of the boreal forest in a semi-arid climatic zone.
Vegetation is primarily white spruce with some lodgepole pine.
During the proposed period of occupation, the forest vegetation was transitional between predominantly black spruce and white spruce. The floor cover is principally moss and small shrubs although hiking trails running through the site and the power line above it on a higher terrace have probably skewed the floor cover considerably. A variety of resources would have been available for prehistoric occupants of the site including caribou, black and grizzly bear, bison, beaver, hare, small fur bearers, fish including chinook salmon and arctic grayling, and a variety of terrestrial birds and migratory wild fowl. At the time of occupation however, temperatures may have differed from present and the level of MacIntyre Creek was probably higher due to glacial outwash. In 1997, the Principal Investigator and seven students at an archaeological field school conducted by Yukon College conducted excavations over a four-week period.
