Comments
DlPd-3, Ross: This is a multicomponent buried campsite being eroded by the river. Along more than 200 m of the cutbank, at least eight intact components can be distinguished. They are numbered from bottom to top, and all of them are assigned to the Old Women's phase. A ninth component is a flood deposit.
