Comments
MhTq-1a: This is a multicomponent site with three historic and two prehistoric combustion zones, separated by bands of silt. Beta-66410 was collected from the surface of a hearth feature ca. 50 cm below the surface in the ninth buried humus layer. Three layers of cultural deposits were identified above this hearth. The date should give the age of the cultural deposit and indicate the rate of silt accumulation on this terrace.
