- Comments
- AfGx-54, Anderson: This is a prehistoric village site assigned to the Uren phase of the Ontario Iroquois tradition. TO-7033 fits expectations based on the stylistic attributes of the artifacts, and TO-7034 is somewhat older than expected, although the 2-sigma limit of its calibrated range overlaps the expected age. Cooper and Savage (1994: 2) report only the most abundant species. A large number of juvenile mammal bones imply spring and summer procurement. One house sample is dominated by fish bone, whereas midden samples contain mainly mammal bones.
