Comments
FhNc-5, Hamilton: Of two components in the western side of the site, the upper one, 10-15 cm below the surface, is historic. On the eastern side of the site, the uppermost component was found 10-15 cm below the surface but dipping to as much as 20-25 cm BS. A radiocarbon date on a bison mandible from this level appears to confirm the historic affiliation.
