Abstract
The authors describe the site and the artifact assemblage. 'Component 2 is found only at Locus 2, in the A2b soil horizon, and is taken to represent a distinctive early Holocene core and blade complex that derives, in some manner, from the Sumnagin of northeast Siberia…. The radiocarbon dates derived from the A2b horizon … should not be taken to pertain to the occupation of this level. They are too recent.' (page 393).
