- DlMa-1, Stott: Tisdale (1978: 41) notes: "Cultural materials recovered from Grand Valley Provincial Park in 1977 are more varied than was expected. Data from previous excavations suggested a homogeneous early Late Woodland assemblage. Though a series of Blackduck occupations was suspected, cultural strata have not yet been successfully distinguished within the Stott farm area." GX-5140 was associated with many flakes, smashed bones, cord-roughened body sherds, possibly contaminated by a capping of landscaping fill. GX-5141 was from a hearth with ash extending to Level 7 and most bone and all lithics and ceramics in Levels 4-7; therefore it provides a minimum age on the feature. The date from GX-5143 suggests Late Archaic, but no Archaic diagnostics were found. GX-5174 and GX-5175 were associated with cord-roughened and other sherds, butchered bone, one flake. GX-5176 was associated with cord-roughened body sherds, a simple dentate decorated neck sherd, a chert biface, flakes, and large butchered bones. GX-5177 pre-dates Blackduck pottery found in overlying levels. S-2320 is presented as an Archaic date, but no such diagnostics were found; the sample was associated with pottery.
