Comments
AhGx-9, Bull's Point: A 17 sq m excavation yielded sections of about 10 Princess Point vessels, a chipped lithic assemblage, almost no faunal material, and corn kernel fragments recovered by flotation (Smith, 1997; Smith and Ormerod, 1997). Smith and Crawford (1997: 21) report a 34 sq m excavation that produced rim sherds from 11 vessels, lithic artifacts, and almost no faunal material. More than 80 postmolds appear to outline a small structure measuring 4 x 3.5 m.
