- Comments
- IgOo-1, Big Bay: This stratified site contains four components separated by sterile sand lenses. Although the stratigraphy was excellent, consisting of sterile cappings of sand deposited along a storm beach over successive living floors with no evidence of intrusive disturbance, neither of two radiocarbon dates is acceptable. Cultural material consisting of a Hanna-type projectile point and a transverse burin is not in accord with such late dates.
