Comments
DjLg-10a: TO-7052 is from the same pit and same depth as GSC-6254 (5570 +/- 80 BP) but on the south side of the pit. According to R.E. Morlan, the bone fragments associated with TO-7052 may have been fractured by people, and one fragment, not used for dating, was charred. There were no obvious cut marks or animal gnawing. No cultural remains were found with GSC-6254.
