Comments
EfOe-VP: I-1393 was analyzed to determine the recent history of the river, and the date implies that the river has been in a state of dynamic equilibrium for the past 500 years. The presence of numerous bison bones suggests that the locality should be reexamined for possible archaeological evidence.
