Comments
GfBw-4, Postville Pentecostal: SI-3359 and SI-3650 are considered to date the Groswater Bay component at this site, whereas S-2989 may pertain to a small collection of tools that hint at a small Pre-Dorset component. Loring and Cox (1986: 71) give the same age for SI-3359 and SI-3650, but their resumé (ibid.: 65) indicates that one of these dates is 2275 +/- 65 rather than 2230 +/- 65 BP.
