- Comments
- CbHs-15, Boom Camp: The late date from S-1550 is probably due to historic disturbance. Cooper and Savage (1994: 11) note that only mammal remains were found among the bones associated with a hearth feature. All of the bones were fragmentary and thermally altered, precluding identification below class for all but 12 specimens.
