Comments
EcPp-24: Quigg notes that the wide time range indicated by the three radiocarbon dates is somewhat puzzling. There appeared to be only one occupation level in the site, but it could represent sporadic occupation throughout the late prehistoric period. The projectile points are small and thin, undoubtedly used to tip arrows, including styles attributed to the Old Women's phase and possibly others.
