- Comments
- AgHd-1, Force: This is a Glen Meyer village with burials present; it has received limited excavation. Cooper and Savage (1994: 32) report that excavations in 1978 (10% of the site) yielded 265 screened and 5948 floated specimens from 54 sub-plowzone features in and around houses, 51% fish, 39% mammal. A substantial portion was thermally altered. A diffuse economy incorporating a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic faunal resources is suggested. Fishing, probably mostly in spring, was important, and hunting of game included smaller rodents and carnivores. Apparent neglect of avian resources is noted. Six artifacts include a modified beaver incisor and awls.
