- Likely the remains of a hearth. 3 quartzite flakes, 12.5 L of fill were subjected to floatation and produced charred blueberry and bramble seeds, hazelnut shell, maple, beech, pine, and pitch pine wood, hemlock and white pine needles. Blueberries and hazelnuts ripen in August, suggesting late summer occupation of the site. The radiocarbon dating of the charred hazelnut shell to the late Woodland-early Contact Period is not consistent with the suspected dating for the diagnostic Genesee projectile point (Terminal Archaic) recovered from nearby unit N195 E216. The authors suggest that multiple occupations of this site occurred; AMS date
