- EcNx-2, Heron: Artifacts collected from sand surface blowouts by the Southwestern Saskatchewan Archaeological Project include Clovis, Oxbow, McKean, Duncan, Hanna, Pelican Lake, and side-notched points. Neither of the two radiocarbon samples is reliably associated with cultural material. The dates cannot be confidently attributed to the Sandy Creek complex (see Dyck 1983: 109).
