Comments
DgPh-3, Point Beazer: This is a multicomponent campsite representing the Old Women's phase. The hearth sampled for S-828 was lined with nine rocks and was 65 cm in diameter. It was associated with argillite flakes, a chopper, fired rocks, butchered bone, a canid mandible, and an obsidian flake. Three additional dates were subsequently obtained by J. Brink. A correlation between Quigg's and Brink's level numbers has not been reported.
