Comments
FaNq-5, Moon Lake: A single component in a paleosol yielded four Oxbow points and two un-notched triangular points in 12 contiguous excavation squares. S-403 is based on an insoluble collagen extraction from a composite sample that included bones from each of the excavation units. The date list misquotes this date as 5000 +/- 90 BP (McCallum and Wittenberg, 1968: 377; Dyck 1970: 16-17).
