- Comments
- EbOp-16, Cactus Flower: This is a campsite containing ten defined occupations well separated stratigraphically by alluvial deposits deposited largely by flooding of the river. Occupations are designated I-X from latest to earliest. Occupations I and II are assignable to the Pelican Lake phase, while occupations III through IX are attributed to the McKean complex. Occupation X is of unknown cultural affiliation. S-783 is too late and S-1013 too early by 300-400 years, in view of stratigraphic positions, other dates at site, and dates from Pelican Lake and McKean components elsewhere. The remaining results are acceptable.
