- Comments
- BbHj-16, Rocky Ridge: Three aceramic components are associated with layers of blackened sand separated from one another by yellow aeolian sand. The two oldest components, levels II and III, represent short-term use of the site, while the youngest component, level I, contains evidence of more intensive occupation. Only level III is directly dated, but Ramsden (1975) presents a variety of reasons to believe that level I is still within the late Archaic period. All of the site's faunal remains are listed in this record.
