Comments
GcEl-27, Lac Huguet: It is not clear whether the charcoal-laden lens represents the remnants of an older humus layer or the residue of combustion associated with the use of the hearth. Comments by D. Denton: While we accept this date as probable, we must retain the possibility that the real age is somewhat more recent.
