- Comments
- DgAj-1, Shamblers Coves: The hearth dated by Beta-5372 was associated primarily with Middle Dorset material for which the date is 300-400 years older than expected. A Middle Dorset asymmetric knife and an ovate biface of Indian manufacture were found near the hearth dated by Beta-5371. A small stemmed projectile point was associated with the hearth dated by Beta-5370. Beta-5369 was closely associated with Middle Dorset material.
