- Comments
- AfHg-1, Calvert: Timmins (1997) distinguishes four episodes of occupation in this Glen Meyer phase site: 1. House 1, a single house, was used as a seasonal hunting camp in the mid-twelfth century; 2. Early phase: a village consisting of three longhouses and a small shed, surrounded by a single row palisade, occupied for about 20 years in the early thirteenth century; 3. Middle phase: houses dismantled and rebuilt in an east-west orientation, surrounded by a contracted double-row palisade, occupied for about 20 years in the early to mid-thirteenth century; 4. Late phase: removal of houses, construction of three or four smaller east-west oriented houses, possibly surrounded by a single palisade, occupied, perhaps intermittently, for about 20 years in the mid-thirteenth century. Vertebrate remains are reported separately for these episodes with many specimens being unassignable to a particular episode.
