- Comments
- EgNr-2, Camp Rayner: It is a multicomponent habitation and kill site, with a radiocarbon date (S-1318) on bison bone collected by T.S. Phenix from 15 cm below surface associated with Avonlea points. More recent excavations by the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society field school have yielded a second date (S-3115) on charcoal collected 92-94 cm below surface and 5.5-7.5 cm above the base of a lanceolate (late Plano?) spearpoint (T. Jones, p.c. 1992). This date provides no more than a distant limit on the age of the spearpoint.
