- Comments
- EfNg-1, Lake Midden: This is a single component site containing Plains side-notched points. Bone fragments from a single layer, 17-30 cm below the surface, encountered in two test pits, were collected by C. Watrall and submitted by D. Walde. Walde (1994) redefines the Mortlach Phase, including two sub-phases, the Lake Midden sub-phase and the more northerly Lozinsky sub-phase. He interprets these entities as late prehistoric manifestations of the southern and northern branches of the Assiniboine. Nicholson et al. (2003: 127) note that the Lake Midden site is the major source of ice-gliders within Saskatchewan, with 280 of them recorded, of which 115 are decorated.
