- Comments
- GkQj-VP, Watino wapiti: The antler dated by S-2614 had been covered with Saran wrap and cast in plaster, raising the possibility of contamination as the date was somewhat younger than expected. AECV-272C, on rib fragments from the same wapiti skeleton, is nearly a millennium older. Burns notes that the older date agrees closely with GSC-2895 and GSC-2902 from gravel pits nearer the town of Watino.
