- Comments
- HdCh-3, Dog Bight L-3: Although no faunal remains were recovered, nor could any structural arrangement of the rocks be discerned, the absence of a semi-subterranean structure suggests that the site was likely a short-term tent encampment, perhaps occupied during the open water season (Nagle, 1984: 210).
