Age Details:
Carlson (2011) notes that this type was first identified in the Mayne Phase,
but was more prevalent in the Marpole phase. At the Pender site
radiocarbon dates were 3,720 +/- 240 B.P., at Georgeson Point I dates of
2,820 +/- 100, and at Dionisio Point dates of 1,800 B.P. At Cadboro
Bay these points were dated between 1,800 and 1,600 B.P. (Keddie, 2011)
