Comments
DjMw-27, Bennet: Both Late Plains and Avonlea materials had been collected at this site previously, and two radiocarbon samples were submitted following monitoring of a pipeline trench that passed through the site deposits. One date was obtained on bone from a hearth feature, Feature 3, situated 95 cm BS in the north wall of the pipeline trench (S-2726). A date on bone was obtained from another hearth, Feature 21, at a depth of 1.06 m BS (S-2727). The two features were about 80 m apart, and neither was directly associated with diagnostic cultural materials, although Besant points and pottery were recovered from the trench spoil pile.
