- Comments
- FhNa-69, Eastcott Flat: Following an initial test, during which one radiocarbon sample (S-1330) was collected, this site was excavated more extensively in the hope of documenting a Pelican Lake occupation. Unfortunately, no diagnostic artifacts were found, and additional radiocarbon samples introduced new problems concerning the chronology of the deposit (see Klimko 1985b: 156-157). Level 1 produced a date on bone (S-2497) that seemed surprisingly young for a layer buried 0.5 m below the surface. A bone sample from Level 2 was submitted as a check on S-1330 but produced a discordant result (S-2496). A sample from a paleosol directly overlying Level 2 failed to solve the problem (S-2560).
