The reservoir is located approximately 100 km south of Calgary, near the towns of Nanton and Champion. One of the sites, EbPi-4, is known as the Mosquito Creek site and is associated with the Clear Lake Diversion Canal development portion of the Little Bow Dam. In 1999 and 2000, excavations were completed recovering a number of pottery sherds from this late Besant Samantha site. Since this was deemed to be a single component site associated with Besant based on 1989 block excavations we were obviously excited as Besant pottery is very rare. The few rim sherds recovered were a somewhat ambiguous style. Subsequently, further excavations focussed on the pottery discovery areas and AMS samples were submitted from charcoal residue on the pottery sherds. This paper presents the results of the AMS radiocarbon ages obtained directly from the pottery, the site stratigraphy and features, the overall artifact assemblage, and the Besant-Samantha stone tool diagnostics.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
