Comments
EaPh-4, Little Bow: Two components are discussed by Fedirchuk (1986), and three dates are listed by Beaudoin (1987), with somewhat confusing results. Level 1 consisted of materials from 3 to 10 cm depth (Fedirchuk, 1986: 91) and is dated by AECV-153C (ibid.: 111); Beaudoin (1987: 209) gives 20-30 cm as the depth for this sample. Level 2 spanned 10-20 cm depth (Fedirchuk, 1986: 91) and is dated by AECV-154C (ibid.: 114), confirming the general temporal relationship (ibid.: 126); Beaudoin (1987: 209) gives 0-10 cm as the depth for this sample. The third date, AECV-155C, from 10-20 cm depth (ibid.) is not mentioned by Fedirchuk. The pottery from this site is somewhat different from other southern Alberta ceramics and exhibits similarities to Blackduck pottery.
