Comments
DgOv-72, Lancaster: Hearths in the cutbank were sampled for dating. Three occupations are present in the upper 50 cm of the deposit. Diagnostic projectile points and radiocarbon dates indicate that all date to the Late Prehistoric period. A limited assemblage, including ceramics, was recovered from the site.
