Comments
DhLh-VP1: This was a fresh natural exposure along the east bank of the Red River. The enclosing sediment was wet with no obvious plant growth. The ca. 4 m high section comprises 3 m of slumped yellow silt derived from the upper terrace. This is overlain by 1 m of grey laminated overbank deposits associated with the alluvial bench. The dated bones are from the top of the yellow silt. The date will help establish timing of the beginning of overbank deposition at this site.
