Comments
AlGo-14, Eldorado: Cooper and Savage (1994: 29) note that acidic soil conditions limited faunal recovery to only 89 specimens, mostly calcined, recovered from hearth and pit features of one longhouse excavated in 1983. Recovery of this small sample was aided by screening and flotation. Hamalainen compared the assemblage to the larger sample from the closely related Auda site, AlGo-29, but no strong inferences could be made concerning the subsistence practices or seasonality at this hamlet.
