- Comments
- EgPm-VP, Government of Canada Pit: A pit excavated for a Government of Canada building revealed "a classic point-bar complex, dominated close to the river by cross-bedded pebble gravels and with backswamp fine sediments in a chute channel farther from the river" (Wilson, 1983a: 258). RL-756, from the base of the fine sediments, provides a minimum age for bison bones that were abundant in the gravels.
