Stratigraphy, Radiocarbon Dating, and Culture History of Charlie Lake Cave, British Columbia
ABSTRACT. Three seasons of fieldwork at Charlie Lake Cave, British Columbia, have revealed a sequence of stratified deposits that spans the Late Pleistocene and entire Holocene. Analyses of sediments, radiocarbon dates, faunal remains, and artifacts show that the site was first occupied by people at...
