Comments
EeNj-2, Morris Church: Charcoal was collected by D.M. Lane and submitted by E.A. Christiansen from two zones, separated by 12 inches (30 cm) of sterile sand, silt, and clay with pebbles. Millar and Gromadko (1981: 4) describe a more complex sequence of deposits, "six separate sets of living floor..., with at least the uppermost one representing three or four distinct sequential camping occupations that occurred fairly close in time." Both of the dated zones yielded pottery, and Millar and Gromadko (1981: Fig. 3) illustrate both Plains and Prairie side-notched points from the site without reporting their exact provenience.
