Comments
FhNg-25, Below Forks: This site is situated on a valley bottom flood plain of the Saskatchewan River. Three dates obtained in 1980 on the lowest level appeared to signify an occupation affiliated with the Mummy Cave series, but no projectile points had been found. Renewed investigation in 2001 uncovered a side/corner-notched projectile point, a point preform, and a worked bone rod, providing confirmation of the suspected cultural affiliation. Two AMS dates also confirmed the age of the deposit, ca. 6000 BP.
