- AfHc-2, Elliott: This palisaded Glen Meyer village of 24 houses covers <0.5 ha. Cooper and Savage (1994: 29) report that salvage excavation of the threatened north portion of the site, actually three villages, yielded 29272 faunal specimens of which 68% were bony fish, 27% mammal, 3% avian, with 39% identified below the class level. Identification of 73 species, all within their current ranges, points to thorough exploitation of local fauna. Evidence appears for occupation during all seasons of the year. Some faunal elements may have had ceremonial significance. Among 60 artifacts there are bone beads, antler tools, debitage, and a comb, pointed and polished bones, drilled turtle shell, and modified beaver incisors.
