- Comments
- BlGf-2, Hynes: The site is about 2 m above the Ottawa River. Except for hearths, the material in the upper cultural stratum is buried 5-22 cm deep and consists of Middle Woodland pottery, scrapers, a flake knife, and notched projectile points including one Robbins-like point. The pottery, with exterior nodes on some rims, and relatively few cases of interior channeling, appears to have greater Hopewellian influence than most Middle Woodland pottery seen thus far in the Ottawa valley. S-895 should date sherds with exterior nodes and notched rims, with dentate stamping on the exterior and rocker stamping on the interior. GSC-2054 is 430 years earlier than the earliest of previously published dates for Initial Woodland sites in the Ottawa valley (S-578: 2440 +/- 75 BP, Constance Bay site, Ontario). The lower cultural stratum, 30 cm or more deeper, contains no pottery and has not yielded diagnostic artifacts.
