	abstract = {<p>The Twin Fawns Site represents a Mortlach occupation within the Lauder Sandhills of southwestern Manitoba, Canada. This proto-contact site contains lithic, ceramic and faunal materials, reflecting the full range of traditional technology associated with this Late Plains Woodland archaeological entity. The only direct indication of the site\&$\#$39;s proto-contact character derives from a single radiocarbon date and a knife composed of a bison bone handle inset with a piece of brass sheet metal. No other direct evidence of European technology has been encountered. The complete lack of small, easily lost, and generally ubiquitous European trade goods is particularly noteworthy. The narrow range and careful curation of European technology offers insight into the nature of the early fur trade era, and the processes by which northern Plains Aboriginal people chose to integrate foreign technology.</p>},
