- DkKp-VP, Kenora bison: A bison skull now in the collections of the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature (catalogue number V-780) was recovered from a bog near Kenora. A sample of sediment within the skull was dated after macrofossils had been removed from it, and a sequence of pollen samples from the bog was compared with a pollen profile from nearby Hayes Lake. The Hayes Lake core is controlled chronologically by three radiocarbon dates, and the bison skull is correlated with pollen zone 3c, a period within the Hypsithermal when the area was covered by woodland.
