PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHIC TOOLS FROM THE WALLY’S BEACH SITE (DhPg-8), ALBERTA, CANADA

Summary

Water was drained from the artificial St. Mary’s irrigation reservoir leaving the bottom exposed along with bones and trackways of late Pleistocene animals and stone artifacts. Three lithic artifacts were recovered from Wally’s Beach Site (DhPg-8), a possible hunting and butchering site situated in the draw down zone of the St. Mary’s irrigation reservoir, Alberta, Canada. One of the lithics was associated with camel remains while another was recovered among horse remains. The third item, a Clovis point, was not associated with any remains. When the site was occupied, approximately 11,200 RCYBP, the area was an island in the St. Mary’s River.
