- Comments
- FaNq-32, Gowen 2: Most of the 75 projectile points fall within the range of the Salmon River type or the Gowen type, as defined by Walker (1980, 1992), but two Bitterroot and two Oxbow points were also found in situ in the habitation area (Walker 1988a: 70). S-2036B is from the same bone sample as S-2036A, but the former was given 1N HCl pretreatment that appears to have removed some contaminants. The best estimate of site age is given by an average of four dates that is concordant with an AMS date acquired by Leyden (2004) during his study of southern Saskatchewan bison palaeoecology.
