- Comments
- Charcoall was found right between the rocks of what appears to be a hearth feature. Also from there came the projectile point broken in 2 pieces (the base came from 27.5 cm below datum), microblades, and flakes. The site contains nine miceroblade cores, nine lanceolate points, about 2000 microblade fragments, core shaping and rejuvinating flakes, burins and burin spalls.
