Comments
GiMw-18, Trade Lake: This is a single component Clearwater Lake occupation that yielded pottery and one triangular and two side-notched points. S-1215 is believed to have been contaminated by recent bone (Meyer 1978a: 37). S-1216 is an older date, but the provenience descriptions show that both dates are derived from composite bone samples from shallow burial environments (see Meyer 1983: 165); furthermore both are based on insoluble collagen extractions.
