Comments
EjJd-6, Wasp Sting: A 33 g sample of charcoal was split to obtain two dates, DIC-1143 and I-10970. Riddle (1980: 180) notes that these dates "come with good association and context from a large and clean sample. They tend to support the continued occupation of the area by Laurel people to a later period than previously accepted."
