Comments
DjOl-no #, Battle Creek Coulee: Samples were collected by J.S. Murray, Parks Canada, Winnipeg, from stratified hearth features, but no diagnostic artifacts were found. Charcoal from Layer 7 was used for S-1626. Two dates on charcoal from Layer 9 are too different to permit averaging. Records in the Heritage Branch do not contain references to these dates, and it is not known which of more than 100 sites in this Borden block is dated by these samples (C. Germann, p.c. 1996).
