- Comments
- DjPn-62, S.S. Burmis: The site is situated in a terrace with alluvium overlying basal gravel. A gravel lens separates component 1 (unidentified) from the others over part of the excavated area. Component 2 (Pelican Lake) and component 3 (Old Women's) are 20 cm apart in undifferentiated alluvium in the thickest section, 290 cm thick, but elsewhere the whole sequence thins to only 70 cm. Component 2 may contain Besant points in addition to a larger number of Pelican Lake points. Most of the points from component 3 are Late side-notched varieties, but two Hanna points and an Oxbow point, believed to be intrusive, are also present.
