- Comments
- AdHg-VP, Campbell Farm: The black muck overlay gravelly sand correlated with similar sand in a presumed Lake Whittlesey beach to the west (McCallum and Dyck, 1960: 74). Russell's comment: "samples were directly associated with parts of a skeleton of Mastodon americanus. The age of the samples and the elevation of the site are reasonably consistent with the assumption that the underlying sand belongs to Lake Warren 1." Jackson (1988a: 32) reports that Russell "recorded an antler fragment of unspecified deer at the Campbell Farm mastodon site in Elgin County below three feet of black muck on Lake Warren sands. Acceptable radiocarbon dates ... (S-30) ... and ... (S-29) ... support a lake-glacial age for the deer antler... Both mastodon and deer must date after the end of Lake Warren, about 12500 B.P."
