- Comments
- JiVq-2, Near: This is a sparse, small site with limited evidence of a very small component stratigraphically above the component associated with S-1053. Neither component is clearly identified culturally, but the material is likely related to the Aishihik phase. S-1053 consisted of wood and charcoal from a single timber, in Sq. 0/0, Level 4, within the first reddish buried soil encountered in Neoglacial loess. This is the third or fourth burial soil within the unit, but it is the first one widely burned. The second burned soil occurs in contact with the top of the White River ash, about 5 cm below the first one. S-1053 should date the cultural component as well as one of several cessations of loess deposition that have occurred since eruption of White River ash.
