Japanese term or phrase: 千歳市オイルカ２
This appears in an academic paper on Paleolithic research of Far East Eurasia. The term in question appears in a passage describing Yubetsu microblade technology/methods. The passage is as follows:

その中にあって湧別技法を中核とする石器群は、恵庭a火山灰降下（ca. 20 cal ka）以降に出現する。最古の年代は、千歳市オイルカ２のca. 18 cal kaである。

Does anyone know how to properly render this into English?

Thank you.

the Oiruka 2 site in Chitose
Explanation:
Chitose is a city in Hokkaido. A paper (http://paleoasia.jp/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Proceedings_N... on archaeology in Hokkaido has the following:

"また、恵庭aテフラの上位の層準にあたるオイルカ-2、キウス-７、暁、大空などの遺跡からは様々な細石刃石器群が報告されている。"

In this paper, the preceding sentence mentions "柏台-1遺跡", and a paper (http://archpress.lib.sfu.ca/index.php/archpress/catalog/down... refers to this as "the Kashiwadai 1 site" and "Kashiwadai 1", so I believe the correct notation for "オイルカ２" in English would be "the Oiruka 2 site" or simply "Oiruka 2".
