- Comments
- FhNa-10, Bushfield West: This site was assigned to the Pehonan complex, and more recently to the Keskatchewan complex, on the basis of its pottery. It also yielded Plains side-notched points and a few protohistoric artifacts (Meyer 1981a: 14-17; Meyer and Russell 1987: 17; Hanna 1983; Gibson 1991, 1998). McKeand (1995) presents a detailed analysis of the faunal remains recovered from Bushfield West, and Gibson (1998) provides a thorough study of the socio-economic implications of the rich ceramic assemblage. In addition to four dates on the occupation layer, D. Meyer and B. Schreiner obtained seven dates on paleosols buried beneath the cultural layer.
