The Poohkay (GlQl-3) artifacts, from a site situated near the forks of the Peace and Smoky Rivers of northwestern Alberta, reflect a lost tool kit or possible offering deposited on unusual terrain on the floor of former Glacial Lake Peace. The GlQl-3 points and preforms cannot currently be dated but share strong metric and morphological similarities with Haskett and Hell Gap points, although one specimen is indistinguishable from Sluiceway materials typical of North Slope Alaska. As with other indications, this assemblage affirms that the Peace River Country served as a point of contact between eastern Beringian and southern worlds prior to biogeographic "closing" of the deglaciating Ice-Free Corridor
