Introduction

Chepiohkomuk-qut, also known as the Solecki site, is given the name Chepiohkomuk-qut (the place apart) due to material evidence suggesting that the cremated human remains that were likely burned on the site were transported for interment.

Chepiohke translates to ‘the place apart, place of separation’.

With the locative affix, the site may be named Chepiohk-it or Chepiohkomuk-qut.
