Comments
JaUu-3: The site consists of lithic flakes and a hearth area. No formal tools were recovered, hence cultural affiliation of the site remains uncertain. However, since intact buried deposits remain, the site may be of interest to researchers investigating small campsites in this area. Based on present knowledge, there is no reason to reject the date. Further work at the site is needed to evaluate it.
