- Comments
- AfHd-1, Dewaele: This is a Glen Meyer village of four or more houses and a 2-3 row palisade, covering about 0.8 hectares. It has received limited excavation. Cooper and Savage (1994: 25) report that two preliminary analyses report on material recovered from excavations between 1967 and 1971. Some features were screened, but none was floated. Burns' sample, from several units, was 52% fish, 23% mammal, and 21% avian, with 12% thermally altered. White-tailed deer was probably the most important source of meat. Fish were a dietary staple, and passenger pigeon appear to have been intensively exploited by nest-robbing of the young. Coary examined specimens from one midden, and her findings are consistent with those of Burns. Fauna: Aves, Ectopistes migratorius; Pisces
