Comments
EgPm-127, Little Shadow: Although bison bones, a Pelican Lake point and other tools were found on the surface, the excavated materials included no diagnostic artifacts. Biface reduction and sharpening flakes were recovered along with three choppers, a wedge, an unfinished biface, fired rocks and natural stones that had been reworked by fluvial action to form a series of ribs or ridges transverse to the direction of the current. The total absence of bone from the excavated area may be attributable to its removal by the stream.
