	abstract = {<p>Prentice G. Downes, an American teacher and historian/geographer, received some pottery and other artifacts from a local trapper while canoeing on Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan in 1936 and 1937. In 1938, he published a brief comment on this pottery in American Antiquity, making this the first published report of what we now call Clearwater Lake Punctate Type of the Selkirk Composite. Downes\&$\#$39; information about the location of the site suggests it was found at Ochankugahe Island at the mouth of Wapus Bay, but this cannot be confirmed. Five Clearwater Lake Punctate vessels are represented in the collection. Downes\&$\#$39; pottery is used to assess the hypothesis that pottery from the Reindeer Lake area may be a regional variant of the Clearwater Lake Complex of the Selkirk Composite. The Downes collection demonstrates the research potential of small collections acquired many years ago.</p>},
