- Comments
- Site consists of a bermed 4 x 6 m depression and a second smaller depression. Obsidian and chert flakes and bone fragments were found at the site. A 30 cm test was excavated in the center of the depression. It revealed statified deposits and a series of dates ranging from 1740 to 2670 BP. The large feature is of unknown function--possibly a house or a cache pit. Time transgressive nature of the fill deposits may suggest long-term use.
