In the Summer of 1953, archaeological investigations were again carried out by the National Museum of Canada on the early Sheguiandah site, Manitoulin Island. Previous work (Lee 1954a) showed that the hilltop had been occupied by at least 4 successive cultures. These were represented by: (1) a thin surface scattering of what is probably Point Peninsula; (2) a prolific level of materials closely related to George Lake 1 (Greenman 1943); (3) a thin level producing early projectile points; (4) a level of large blades not identified culturally. A number of problems demanded further examination. Insufficient charcoal had been found for radiocarbon dating. Professional archaeological and geological opinions on the dates had ranged so widely as to be almost useless. Two of the 4 cultural levels remained unexplained and the presence of another was suspected. The level of projectile points was too thinly represented. No bones had been found, although part of the site was regarded as a habitation area.
