- Comments
- DcRu-572: This moderate sized midden contains both Locarno Beach and Marpole cultural materials, and the single radiocarbon date is thought to represent a period of transition between these two culture types. It is suggested that the date should be corrected for the marine reservoir effect by subtracting 800 years to produce an age of 2380 BP.
