Comments
DjPo-46: Three field seasons of work at this multi-component site seem not to have been integrated into a single sequence, as Driver (1978, 1985) presents the data from the 1975 and 1976 seasons separately. The earliest date, RL-771, is associated with an unnamed triangular, corner-notched point. A younger component contains Hanna and Pelican Lake points in association with a buried tipi ring dated by RL-770. Above this is a Pelican Lake component with an anomalously young date (RL-769). Driver (1978: 106) notes that stratigraphic compression is a problem at this site. Elsewhere he interprets all of the occupations as winter camps (Driver, 1985).
