- Comments
- GcEl-20, Lac Delorme, comments by D. Denton: Area C consists of three large hearths, probably representing two occupations. Structures 1A and 1B appear to have been used within the same dwelling. There is some indication that structure 4 may also have been a part of this dwelling, but this is far from conclusive. The similarity of the archaeological assemblage associated with 1A and 1B, on the one hand, and 4, on the other, suggests that the occupation of the site is within the same general period. We tentatively accept the more recent date (QU-1416) as dating the principal occupation of the site while keeping open the possibility that a possible earlier occuupation associated with structure 4 could predate this by several hundred years.
