IN CONCLUSION


Since the mitigation project began more new data has been recovered concerning the older components of the site. A number of lanceolate projectile points associated with Paleoindian period groups indicated that the fourth cultural layer includes multiple occupations. A Folsom point located approximately in the center of cultural layer 4 indicated an occupation dating to approximately 10,500 years B.P. This aided in the identification of the lowest component as Goshen which dates to approximately 11,000 years. Ned expects to continue excavations until the middle of September.
