- Comments
- DgSl-61, Chesterman Beach: This site is listed in Hutchinson's study of sea level change, and the archaeological findings have not been published. In view of the operational histories of the laboratories in question, it is assumed that these marine shell dates have already been corrected for isotopic fractionation.
