Abstract

Bowers describes the the stratigraphy and archaeological materials of the multi-component Lisburne site. The site is a large lithic workshop. Bowers used detailed spatial analysis to define the different activity areas and time components of the site. Bowers considers the site to, '…represent a major lithic workshop…The site also functioned,…as a hunting stand, and perhaps as a brief campsite,' (page 110). Only the archaeological data pertaining to the Late Tundra period were indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) codes. The reader is advised to use caution when reading this material as it is not always immediately clear which materials are Late Tundra.
