- Comments
- ElNq-VP, Frenchman's Flat: S-266 is one of a series of samples submitted to date parts of a local but morphologically significant floodplain and to give rates of sedimentation of overbank blood deposits. The other dates are on charcoal and wood, and the overall range indicates that the main river channel has been relatively stable for at least 3000 years. S-266 also gives a maximum age for Pike Lake, a large oxbow lake.
