- Comments
- DlPk-2, Morkin: This is a buried multicomponent campsite with poorly defined stratigraphic layers that were difficult to follow during excavation. The sequence had also been disturbed by construction of numerous aboriginal prepared hearths and refuse pits. Byrne struggled to define five levels with named cultural affiliations, as illustrated by the frequencies of projectile point types (see Byrne, 1973: Table 4). Despite the stratigraphic problems, the radiocarbon dates reflect a reasonably coherent sequence if GX-2058 is ignored.
