Comments
GhPh-8: The site is situated on a sandy ridge running parallel to the lake shore which is about 15-20 m to the north. This is a stratified site on an old beach ridge, but the cultural affiliations are undetermined. Although GSC-1035 initially appeared to be unacceptable (Wilmeth, 1978: 99, as GhPh-107), it was eventually interpreted as a satisfactory date (Gruhn, 1981: 91).
