- Comments
- Aldon Plant, EaOq-43: This site is situated on the floor of a small coulee on the northwest margins of Medicine Hat, ca. 1 km south of the South Saskatchewan River. When discovered, the site consisted of a large amount of bison bone on the surface of a cultivated field in the coulee bottom. The result of backhoe pits and test excavations suggests that the midden was once much larger and has been partly destroyed by erosion and redeposition. The type of kill site could not be determined, but the site setting suggests a pound or trap. Recovered materials included several Besant points and a single Pelican Lake point (Brumley 1991: 300).
