AEU HSS GN 1 N19 Area surveyed is bounded to the north by the South Saskatchewan River, and extends east of Swift Current. Reports some sites and collections in the Cypress Hills area, mostly on the north slope a group around Eastend, and another grouping around Bracken to the east. Most sites were found in the Great Sandhills, and near the South Saskatchewan west of Leader, including the Estuary Bison Trap (EfOk-16) of which there is a more detailed description. Most of the report, however, focusses on descriptions of the Gray Site (EcNx-1a) and the East Pasture Site (EcNx-4) in the vicinity of Swift Current.
