During the summer of 1970, a storage pit filled with canip debris was excavated by depositional levels at site DgMg-15. The pit had been used repeatedly while slowly being filled with habitation debris. Six hearths were in the pit, several of which had been carefully covered with layers of sterile gravel. The earliest hearth yielded a carbon-14 date of A.D. 1610 ±130 (GSC-1546). Evidence from these excavations indicates that important information can be lost by treating storage pits as single, homogeneous units of activity
