- Comments
- FjOd-2, Yellowsky: This is a single component site attributed to the Avonlea complex on the basis of recovered pottery and a single fragmentary projectile point (Wilson-Meyer and Carlson 1985). Two radiocarbon samples yielded somewhat different ages. S-2299 was carbonaceous soil from a prominent hearth associated with the Avonlea point fragment. S-2300 was comprised of nearly all of the recovered faunal remains and is therefore a composite sample. The excavators reject S-2300, although the calibrated 2-sigma ranges of the two dates overlap at cal 644-510 BP.
