Comments
EkNv-36, Billet: This is an extensive habitation site with several hearths, representing mainly the Hanna complex, although Oxbow materials are present in some loci. Where both are present (Area C-2), stratigraphic separation is uncertain. Area C-3 yielded Hanna material only. Radiocarbon samples were collected by W. Pendree, but details concerning sample associations have not been published, nor has any comment concerning the discrepancy between S-2053 and S-2054, both associated with a single hearth of supposed Hanna affiliation. Based on information from Pendree, Dyck (1983: Table 10.2) lists both S-2054 and S-2063 as dates on Hanna complex hearths.
