Comments
FeTw-no #, Richardson Island, 1127T: This site includes an intertidal component and a stratified deposit on a raised beach 18 m above high tide. Augering and test excavations have revealed more than 40 artifact-bearing strata. An early component is referred to the Kinggi complex, dating 9300 to 8900 BP, with technological similarities to pre-9000 BP assemblages extending from Alaska to California. Around 8900 BP, tabular to conical microcores are added to this complex, representing the early Moresby tradition that continues until 8000 BP.
