- Comments
- ElNq-3, Beaver Creek: Walker (1988a: 72; 1992: 170) mentions S-2438 in discussions of Mummy Cave occupations, but no diagnostic artifacts are associated with the date. Unpublished records in the Saskatchewan Heritage Branch record this site as Wettlaufer's S-101. Notes filed by T.F. Kehoe in 1963 indicate the likelihood that the site would soon be lost to mass wasting of the river bank.
