Comments
DjPp-8: This multi-component site was excavated in 5-10 cm arbitrary levels that have been regrouped by Driver (1993) into 20 cm levels lettered from A at the top to I at the bottom. The resulting sequence is reasonably consistent with that of projectile point typologies established elsewhere, although there is evidence of blurring and even mixing at some boundaries. Radiocarbon dates are available only for Levels C and D.
