- Comments
- EjBe-18, Barney: McGhee and Tuck placed this site early in their Maritime Archaic sequence, ignoring I-8100, the only date available at the time because it was based on scattered charcoal that might have been contaminated by a forest fire or other source. They estimated the age of the site at 8000 BP, only slightly older than the age subsequently provided by SI-2310.
