Comments
DiSo-1, Hesquiat Village: This is a stratified winter village with eight radiocarbon dates. The oldest, GaK-4394, is anomalous in relation to the other dates, and it is rejected by Haggarty. WSU-2288 and WSU-2289 are reversed in relation to their stratigraphic order, but they overlap at their two-sigma limits. Mitchell (1990: 356) assigns the entire site to the West Coast culture type.
