a multicomponent site representing Late
Archaic to the Mississippian time
periods, with the main component being
a Late Archaic/Early Woodland
Transition/Red Ochre Culture cemetery
dating between 1000 and 100 BC.
The MPM is unaware of the presence
of any potentially hazardous substances
used to treat any of the human remains
