Comments
AeHj-2, Dymock: Cooper and Savage (1994: 28) report that two activity/ settlement areas, possibly temporally distinct, were identified. The subsistence pattern appears very similar for both. Hunting white-tailed deer and fishing were major foci, but a broad range of animal resources was exploited. The evidence supports spring, and probably also autumn, occupation. Nine artifacts include an antler flaker, modified beaver incisor, and pointed tools. Fauna: Agropyron or Elymus 154, Chenopodium 3, Rubus 24, Rhus typhina 167, cf. Amphicarpas 2, cf. Physalis 1, unidentified seeds 31, Juglans cinerea 0.94 g, unidentified nut 0.74 g
