|
| A0049 is a concentration of Middle Paleolithic artifacts at the high point along a narrow ridge line. This location was selected for more intensive investigation because the artifact densities were quite high and because of the frequency of Levallois technology. |

At this location we employed a different sampling strategy. Rather than collect in a grid, we used a radial system with sample lines spaced 15 degrees apart. On the 45 degree interval lines, samples were collected each three meters. On the remaining lines, samples were collected each 5 meters. At the center, as defined by the artifact densities, we collected from a grid in order to obtain a sample from adjacent units. |
