- Comments
- KkHh-2, Lake: The site contains nine semi-subterranean dwellings, a stone cache, two pit features, and two small depressions. Houses 2 and 5 were excavated. Clark (1980: 57) states: "Although the provenience of [S-1546] makes it less directly associated with the occupation than the sample [S-1545] from the living floor, it may be estimated that House 2 ... was occupied some time within the 14th to 16th centuries A.D." Faunal remains from the site have not been analyzed, but a list of taxa is presented by Clark (1980: 77) on the basis of field notes.
