Comments
EaJf-1, Wabinosh River: A deposit on the upper terrace contains a pure Laurel component, while the lower terrace yielded a mixture of Laurel and Blackduck materials. In view of new AMS dates, Brandzin-Low (1997: 197) states that Laurel groups first occupied the lower terrace and then expanded on both the lower and upper terraces.
