[Various (1971)] The extended burial which produced the bone, Number 78, was that of a young male who had been richly provided with grave goods, including such characteristic Laurentian traits as a ground slate point or knife and chopper.2 A similar, adjacent, and apparently contemporaneous interment, Number 79, had, among other offerings, two stone plummets, also a good Laurentian trait (Ritchie 1945: 64, 137, 138; 1965a: 116, 122). Two previously obtained C-14 dates on hearth charcoal from the Frontenac Island site, 2013 B.C. ± 80 years (Y-459) and 1723 B.C. ± 250 years (W-545), which I tended to regard as __________________ 2 This grave also produced a bird effigy comb (Ritchie 1945: 111; 1965a: Plates 39, 40) which was unique for the Archaic until Tuck's 1968 discoveries at Port au Choix, Newfoundland, in a Maritime Archaic cemetery of about the same age (1880-1740 B.C.) as the Frontenac Island grave (Tuck 1970: 116, 118). No. 52, July 1971 5 probably too late, are now seen as further proof of an approximately 2000 B.C. age for the site, which typifies the Frontenac phase (Ritchie 1965a: 107). This phase represents a composite culture resulting from the contact metamorphosis of the Lamoka and Brewerton phases (Ritchie 1945: 16-17, 21-22; 1965a: 103-104; Ritchie and Funk n.d.a.).
