Comments
EjBe-15, Juniper: With only I-7504 to consider at the time, McGhee and Tuck considered the date suspect because the sample was comprised of scattered charcoal that might have been contaminated by a forest fire or other process. They gave this site a suggested age of about 6200 years ago, and this age was subsequently confirmed by SI-2314.
