- Comments
- PeHr-VP: Periotic bones were collected in situ from a bowhead skull 50% buried in very coarse beach gravel. The skull is upright and too weathered to measure, but a juvenile judging by the size of the periotics. It is located near a tent ring at the same level, so possibly killed by ancient people.
