Archeological Site 4-SK-4 → Nightfire Island – Is there any reason to use an identifier rather than the name of the site as the article title? Nightfire Island looks like the most common name in the listed sources and is used throughout the article text. Also avoids using the unusual spelling archeology. – Joe ( talk) 14:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Location of 4-SK-4, Nightfire Island. This important prehistoric archaeological site is not near Macdoel California nor is it west of Indian Tom Lake. The site is just west of Sheepy Creek, southeast of Indian Tom Lake, south of Highway 161 (The Oregon-California border highway). It is closer to the city of Dorris than Macdoel. Carroll Howe in his 1979 monograph, Ancient Modocs of California and Oregon, details the location and provides an aerial photograph. The site is on private ranch property and can only be accessed by permission of the owners. LandCrab3 ( talk) 02:28, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
The first source formerly cited did not mention Nightfire island. Nor did it mention the Modoc, Klamath, or even Siskiyou peoples. And the island is not west of Indian Tom Lake or Otey Mountain, or even near them. Dorris is closer to it then Macdoel or Tule Lake. These inaccuracies are now corrected and supporting evidence is given. Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 00:06, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
