Comments
ElPb-3: Seventy-nine 1 m units were excavated in advance of construction on secondary road 589. This proved to be a multi-component site with at least three occupations. The earliest is an Oxbow occupation level at about 50 cm depth. The latest is a Late Plains occupation associated with a surface tipi ring. Between these occupations are less well defined deposits containing Duncan, Hanna, and McKean materials, as well as Besant and Pelican Lake points. Five buried hearth features were recorded.
