- Comments
- FhNj-15, Intake: Of two components, the upper one, 0-30 cm below surface, contains small side-notched points and pottery. Although originally considered to represent Besant (Meyer 1981b), the upper component is now regarded as a variant of the Laurel complex (D. Meyer, p.c. 1993). The lower component, 70-85 cm below surface, yielded a single point considered similar to some of the Gowen site points (Meyer 1981b: 115). Two radiocarbon dates have been obtained on composite bone samples from the upper component. S-2180 consisted of burned bone that was weathered, and the sample may have contained rootlets. S-2185 was comprised of unburned bone that was weathered and fragile. Given the weathered condition, shallow burial environment, and composite nature of these samples, neither of them is clearly a reliable date.
