Abstract:
A Cardbox file containing dated and undated radiocarbon samples collected during the course of a regional mapping project on Prince of Wales Island, Nunavut.This database is to synthesize information pertaining to paleoenvironmental conditions (specifically glaciation, climate and sea level change) in glaciated North America from the last glacial maximum to the present.
