Comments
DjOu-no #: Two bone samples from the wall of the ditch were dated by radiocarbon. Their ages are reversed in relation to their stratigraphic positions, possibly because slope wash has moved older sediments on top of younger ones. It is not known whether either sample is related to human activity.
