Comments
DiSo-9, Loon Cave: This is a long, narrow cave containing up to 2 m of cultural deposits near its entrance. Haggarty divides the stratigraphic sequence into ten zones (A-J) and the cultural record into two components demarcated by the zone E/F boundary. Some sources number the components from bottom up and others from top down; this database follows Calvert in the latter practice. The cave was used as a burial site during the Historic period. It seems that Mitchell (1990: 356) would assign the entire sequence to the West Coast culture type.
