234). Similar complexes are known from southern New England (Dincauze
1968. 1972, 1975).
In Maine, Susquehanna components have been excavated at Turner Farm
(Bourque 1975, 1976; Bourque at al. 1984), Hirundo (Sanger and McKay 1973;
Sanger et aI. 1977), Eddington Bend, Hathaway (Snow 1975: 50-51), and the
Young site (BorsteI1982). The earliest associated radiocarbon date from the
region is 4020±BO B.P, and was obtained from the Turner Farm site (Bourque
at al. 1986: 115. Table 1); however, the majority of related radiocarbon dates
appear during the period of 3800-3400 B.P. (q.v. Table 2).
In New Brunswick, scattered finds have occurred at sites 5.Jch as Teacher's
Cove (Davis 1978: 55, Plate Vd, h) and Portland Point, where steatite bowl
fragments were recovered (Harper 1956). A steatite bowl has also been
recovered from the French River area in the Saint John River drainage. The
Mud lake Stream site on the Chiputneticook-St. Croix drainage has produced
a SUsquehanna component with large, sterrvned projectile points, bifaces, drills,
aodan unfinished ceh dated at4010±180 B.P. (OeaI1985, 1986: 78). Thereere
no excavated Susquehanna sites i'l Nova Scotia, but privately collected
materials from southwestem Nova Scotia include some broad, stemmed
projectile points and a fully grooved axe. These, in the Wilbur Sollows and
Thomas Raddell collections, are presently held at the Nova Scotia Museum.
Other materials have also been recovered from Lake Rossignol and Gaspereau
Lake (Tuck n.d.). No Susquehanna artifacts have yet been reported from Prince
Edward Island Of Cape Breton Island.
