Kettering Park |
| Brief Description: |
Late Archaic-Woodland base camp; short-term resource procurement |
| Site Type: |
Prehistoric |
| Site Notes: |
Phase III data recovery carried out in same area as Ph. II testing with the primary purpose of recovering a representative sample of Early Woodland artifacts from A2 horizon. No features were identified during Ph. III however the data made it possible to identify lithic manufacturing areas. The absence of features prevented a more detailed analysis of activity areas and the ability to determine whether the ceramics were
brought to the site or manufactured there. But undoubtedly, the presence of a large ceramic sample indicates that food preparation activities took place at the site. |
