Additional information
From aeolian sediments above the Ahb horizon of a palaeosol, buried 60 cm DBS. Sample derived from a small bone in sediments demonstrating considerable rodent disturbance (burrows). It is located in the strategraphic profile under a larger bone (Beta-214253), which dates considerably earlier. Therefore, this date is anamalous. Sample submitted to help establish a stratigraphic framework for the site (geoarchaeology).
