Comments
The site is a tent ring complex consisting of 40 tent rings and associated lithic material dating to 4000-5000 BP. Sample was collected from an area with fire-cracked rock. No staining was found around, however, the SW of the NE quad had a charcoal stain. Radial section is compressed and deformed according to Claire Alix (charcoal analysis in November 2005). Sample is associated with flakes within a tentring where a notched point was found.
