Comments
BcGw-18, Barrie: The ceramic assemblage indicates that the primary occupation occurred during the Uren substage (AD 1280-1330), roughly a century earlier than the calibrated date (AD 1409 +/- 40) implied by TO-3057. In addition to the main Middle Iroquoian occupation the site also contains a small Terminal Archaic/Early Woodland component.
