- Comments
- NaVk-6, Old Crow River Locality CRH-20: There are four dates on three bones from this locality. All three bones were selected because of their fresh-state fractures that may reflect breakage for marrow retrieval and/or tool production. The extraordinarily well preserved impact scar on the bison humerus has been illustrated in the published literature (Morlan, 1978: Fig. 3).
