Extract

Descriptive articles (Eldridge and Vaccaro 1952; Byers 1954, 1955, 1956) have discussed various aspects of the Bull Brook site. Byers (1955) describes in considerable detail the conditions under which certain artifacts were recovered. In August and September, 1957, crumbs of charcoal were found in another part of the site by W. A. Eldridge and the Vaccaros; Byers was notified and in September he personally recovered charcoal under conditions which confirmed previous reports about its occurrence.
