Comments
EfPm-143: A 24 sq. m excavation revealed four buried cultural components discontinuously preserved across this site. The small samples hinder interpretation, but are suggestive of campsite activities, including lithic reduction and toom maintenance, and some bone processing (Loveseth 1984: 201).
