- Comments
- GkLs-1, Wapisu (UNR 26): This is a multicomponent site containing mainly Laurel occupation debris with lesser amounts of late Archaic, Blackduck, and historic material. Due to slope instability, root penetration and trampling, there is considerable vertical admixture of different components, and the Laurel and Blackduck sherds reach their peak frequencies in the same excavation level. Separate activity and occupation loci can be traced horizontally, and the radiocarbon dates can be assigned to occupation components by their associations with cultural features. Tisdale and Jamieson (1982: 54-56) provide detailed discussions of radiocarbon sample associations that are reflected in this data base.
