Comments
NaVk-5, Old Crow River Locality CRH-22: Of three dated specimens, a mammoth limb bone was fractured when fresh and may be an artifact; a second mammoth limb bone is interpreted as a percussion-flaked bone core (Bonnichsen, 1979: Pl. 8-3, #60-24042); and a moose antler was dated as part of Harington's palaeobiological study.
