Comments
The test pits in this tent ring yielded charcoal, bone, modified willow twigs and black chert flakes. The sample was found under the center rock of the tentring and collected 8 Aug 05. Last ring incomplete but not necessarily the last one according to charcoal analysis by Claire Alix (November 2005). Chosen for dating because three different materials from this context could be tested offering an opportunity to crosscheck dates.
