A prehistoric site located on the left bank of Old Crow River, on the outside of the third bend above the mouth of Timber Creek, in the Porcupine drainage area. This is a final Wisconsinan point bar buried beneath an aggradational terrace. Many species of Pleistocene vertebrates were redeposited onto this point bar between 10,000 and 11,000 years ago when Anodonta beringiana was living in the valley. Paired valves of this large mollusc can be found in growth position among the fossil bones. One small black chalcedony flake was also recovered.
