- Comments
- FcTe-4, Grant Anchorage: This is a large shell midden and village site, in the historic territory of the Kitasa (Southern Tsimshian). Two localities, A and B, about 18 m apart, were excavated. Simonsen (1973) found the Gakushuin dates acceptable. S-721, run after the publication of Simonsen's (1973) report is somewhat later than GaK-2757 located 71 cm higher in the section. GaK-2757 is from a charred "wooden dish" feature located approximately in the middle of the cultural deposits, and GaK-2575 is almost identical in age and may even date the same cultural feature. S-721 is from the lowest cultural level, overlying sterile gravels and was expected to be older. GaK-2756 is from the upper part of the section at Locality A. GaK-2758 is from the deepest cultural deposits in Locality B, overlying sterile gravel, and it appears to represent an older component than that found at comparable depth in Locality A.
