Comments
BgDr-48, Partridge Island: This is a coastal shell midden, 4-6 m asl, containing four components of which components 2b and 2c are treated as a single assemblage. The earliest, component 1, is dated by S-2215 somewhat earlier than expected but consistent with other early dates associated with contracting stemmed points and linear decorated ceramics in New Brunswick.
