Comments
DiRi-1, Hope: Thin ground slate knives found next to the hearth dated by S-62 may have been among the first such implements used in the Fraser valley. Similar knives begin to appear slightly earlier in sites at the mouth of the river. S-62 probably antedates the beginning of a large pithouse village that existed at the site in recent times.
