Comments
EeSu-8, Bear Cove: The oldest component in this site is assigned to the Old Cordilleran phase or the Pebble Tool tradition. WSU-2141 is a limiting age on the fauna as bones were not preserved below 150 cm depth. WSU-2138 and -2140 provide a young limit and may be associated with the Obsidian culture type.
