Location description:	Big Bluff section of the Old Crow Lowlands, located along the Porcupine River in the Yukon Territory. The bluff is 55 m high and made up mostly of fluvial and lacustrine sediments. Station ID is from Hughes (1972); radiocarbon dates and magnetic polarity sequence reported in Pearce et al. (1982). Preece et al. (2011) also refer to this site as Ch'ijee's Bluff, Bluefish Basin.
