Extract

During the month of May, 1948, Dr. Douglas Leechman of the National Museum, Ottawa, spent some time on the northern Plains. Included in his Manitoba itinerary was a rapid survey of the more important sites in the southcentral portion of the province. While on the Lowton site (S. W. Sec. 26, T. 5, R. 16, W. 1st.), one of the party, Dr. R. D. Bird of Brandon, Manitoba, recovered from the surface the curved knife with the deliberately fashioned scraper end illustrated in Figure 21.

8 This hypothesis was developed with Donald E. Wray. A statement of the possible factors influencing this shift will be found in John W. Griffin and Donald E. Wray, “Bison in Illinois Archaeology,” Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science, Vol. 38, pp. 21-26, Urbana,1945. However, “Upper Mississippi” as used in this paper should be understood to mean Oneota rather than the Fisher type of Upper Mississippi.
