Comments
EaLg-9, Wright: Six sections were examined along a 20 m stretch just upstream from the creek mouth. Bison bones from section A were submitted for radiocarbon dating. This section exposed four prominent soils, four bone horizons, two charcoal layers, and two reddish-brown zones formed by burning. It was subsequently investigated as an archaeological site, situated at what is now the largest and most prominent rapids on the Red River.
