- Comments
- TkAt-4, Sojourn: This is an Independence I and possibly also an Independence II site with dwellings of the midpassage and gravel depression type and with caches on both terrace levels. The upper terrace occupation is believed to be affiliated with Independence I. The lower terrace occupation may represent early Independence II as the recovered artifacts include both Independence I and II types. Sutherland considers Beta-7772 to be a questionable date.
