Comments
DgOv-93: This is not a glyph site but is a small eroded prehistoric campsite. In addition to two hearths, the site yielded the richest assemblage of artifacts found in the park. A single date was obtained on bone from the east half of a remnant profile where buried and undisturbed materials were still in situ and were associated with the eastern hearth. However, the three recovered projectile points are of uncertain affiliation, with one resembling the Oxbow type and another resembling Avonlea arrowheads, neither of which would be expected to correspond to the age given by S-1404.
