- Comments
- AfHh-28, Boisclair: This Glen Meyer site covers <0.5 ha. Cooper and Savage (1994: 10) report that the faunal remains were mostly fragmentary, derived from three storage pits that were bagged and flotated after excavation. The presence of very young passenger pigeon, combined with the abundance of suckers, points to a spring occupation for fishing and probably also deer hunting. Among two artifacts are a deer ulna awl, a worked cervid antler, and a striated turtle carapace.
