- Comments
- HeLw-20, Flicker (SIL 257): The site is 1.6 km north of Wright's MacBride site (HeLw-1). The site surface was littered with recent Historic material that extended into the first 5 cm of the humus and moss. Fur Trade period material was also present. Prehistoric artifacts include Plains and Prairie side-notched points and Clearwater Lake pottery. "As there was no evidence of stratigraphy, it was impossible to determine the context and/or association of any of the non-diagnostic artifacts" (Kroker, 1990: 70).
