- Comments
- DcRt-15, Cadboro Bay: This is a shell midden, about 600 x 21 m, eroded at the seaward edge, clearly stratified with two distinct artifact assemblages. The upper one related to early Developed Coast Salish, and the lower one to the Marpole phase. In addition, artifact attributes at the extreme lower levels suggest the presence of the Locarno Beach phase. D.N. Abbott comments that GaK-2750 should have been a good sample from an undisturbed hearth. GaK-2751 should also be confirmed, because it implies a rather late Marpole period and suggests that the site contains only two components rather than three. Note that comments on these samples were inadvertently switched with those for the Georgeson Bay site (DfRu-24) and were published that way in the date list (Kigoshi et al., 1973).
