Comments
FdNm-16, Lucky Strike: The site was destroyed by road construction after investigation by the Saskatchewan Research Council (Wilson 1984). Two areas of artifact concentration were separated by about 65 m of gently sloping terrain. The southern area was exposed by two sets of contiguous squares with a 3 m gap between them, and one Prairie side-notched point was found in the western set. The northern concentration had a main excavation block with smaller tests both east and west of it, and four Prairie side-notched points were recovered from the main block. Bone samples from each concentration were submitted for radiocarbon dating, and the results can be averaged.
