Comments
DjPn-16: This is listed by Driver (1978) as a multicomponent campsite on a terrace, and a series of radiocarbon dates was subsequently obtained by B. Ronaghan. The cultural affiliations listed with the dates (Beaudoin, 1987: 204) appear out of sequence in comparison to other sites, and the Level 4 dates, spanning nearly two millennia would seem to mean that the site is not well sorted stratigraphically. The dates cannot be interpreted without more information.
