Comments
DjLx-1, Lovstrom: S-2823, assigned to the protohistoric period, was associated with gunflints made from local lithic material. Along with the Johnas site, Lovstrom contains evidence of extended occupations by people using agricultural tools and whose ceramic affiliations appear to relate to groups in North Dakota and western Minnesota known to have practiced horticulture. The two SFU dates from this site were among the last samples processed before the laboratory was decommissioned, and the reported dates are preliminary results that should be treated with caution (D.E. Nelson, p.c. 1998).
