Comments
EdRg-1B: The site is assigned to the Quiltanton complex on the basis of its well defined microlithic technology. Beta-13158 extends the time range of the complex almost to the historic period. If the complex represents the Nicola-Similkameen Indians of the Nicola valley, such a late date is quite feasible.
