- Comments
- EfPs-1, Windle: The river had cut laterally into a terrace, exposing 2.25 m of overbank fine sediments and pea gravels overlying about 60 cm of clay at water level, with cobble gravels below water level. Bison bones are abundant in three horizons for a distance of 10 m along the bank, and one of the lower horizons is dated by GSC-1744. Although this site has not been excavated and cultural material not found there, some of the bones may have been broken during butchering.
