Comments
FdPe-4, Boss Hill: The site is located in an area of hummocky moraine, or knob and kettle topography. The largest of the knobs is known as Boss Hill where two localities have yielded stratified sequences. Locality 1 is located on top of the northern portion of Boss Hill and has not been reported in detail. Locality 2 is situated at the base of Boss Hill on its northeastern side, and Doll (1982) presents a detailed analysis.
