- Comments
- NhHd-1, Alarnerk: Samples of antler and ivory were obtained from Dorset house ruins. Meldgaard noted that antler dates are consistently younger than ivory dates, and he considered the latter more reliable. It is now known that normalizing and calibrating the dates often brings them into closer agreement.
