Additional information
Since whole bone was dated, presumably of marine origin, the correction for isotopic fractionation gives a minimum normalized age.
Comments
KkHh-1, T1: This site covers most of the plateau and is more than 8 hectares in extent. It represents the early Dorset period. Vertebrates were identified in the field and are strongly dominated by sea mammals.
