Piedra Museo Upper Unit 2 | Ramirez Rozzi F. V., d'Errico F., et al (2000) | earlier papers defined six units, but here the latter five are collapsed into unit 2; this collection combines all unit 2 material from above a charcoal later at 185 cm\nthe two C14 dates on bone at the 172 and 173 cm levels are 9230 +/- 105 and 9710 +/- 105 ybp, calibrated as 8290-8560 and 8840-9280 ybp | claystone | 0.0117 - 0 Ma Quaternary | |
Piedra Museo Lower Unit 2 | Ramirez Rozzi F. V., d'Errico F., et al (2000) | earlier papers defined six units, but here the latter five are collapsed into unit 2; this collection combines all unit 2 material from below a charcoal later at 185 cm and down to about 225 cm\nsix C14 dates on bone and charcoal from a narrow interval within this unit are dated at 10390 +/- 70 through 12890 +/- 90 ybp, calibrated at 10000-10700 through 12500-14000 ybp | sandstone | 0.126 - 0.0117 Ma Pleistocene |
