Artifacts at the Site
Several artifacts related to hunting and camping were discovered in the area around Fence Narrows. At the ambush location, stone spear heads and arrow heads were found. At the nearby camp location, several stone tent rings (once used to weight the edges of caribou skin lodges) were observed, as were some very old tools, such as stone scrapers, which were used to dehair and tan caribou hides.
