- Comments
- DcRu-4, Kosapsom Park: Locarno Beach, Strait of Georgia and historic components are present, but some of the radiocarbon dates are anomalously young and do not strongly support the anticipated chronology. Subsequent to Mitchell's work, the site was sampled by Parks Canada personnel who dated pairs of marine shell and charcoal samples in a study of the marine reservoir effect.
