- Comments
- AfHi-121, Boresma: Five dates have been obtained for this Saugeen site, four of them judged acceptable by Wilson but only three listed by Spence et al., the latter omitting the oldest of the four. Cooper and Savage (1994: 11) report that excavation of <3% of this 0.84 ha site produced 45669 faunal specimens through surface collection and 1/4" screening, as well as 2946 from flotation material collected from 14 proveniences. Analysis suggests that the site was used at various times of the year, with a definite spring fishery indicated by the large numbers of suckers and walleye/sauger. Thirty-nine artifacts include both worked bone and antler. Fauna: Aves: Branta canadensis, Anatinae, Meleagris gallopavo, Tetraoninae, Accipitridae, Strix varia; Reptilia, Chelydra serpentina, Trionyx spiniferus, Chrysemys picta, Emydoidea blandingi; Amphibia, Bufo americanus, Rana sp; Pisces, Acipenser fulvescens, Esox lucius, Catostomus sp 83, Ictalurus nebulosus, Ictalurus punctatus, Lota lota, Micropterus sp, Stizostedion sp 573, Aplodinotus grunniens
