Comments
DjPo-25, Bill White: Driver (1978: 100) mentions the occurrence of Bitterroot side-notched points which accounts for the Mummy Cave affiliation listed for the radiocarbon date. Apparently the site has many occupation layers, since Driver (1985) indicates ten of them but groups these into four components, all of which functioned as winter camps during his Middle Prehistoric period (7500-2000 BP).
