Location:	Alberta, Canada	Latitude (N):	49.67°	Longitude (W):	110.30°
Site notes:	On the north side of the Cypress Hills. One of the main SCAPE project archaeological sites (the Stampede Site, DjOn-26) is located close to the east shore of the lake. This lake was cored as part of the SCAPE project in winter 2002.

Site discussed: Elkwater Lake. Collected modern ostracodes from littoral, wetland and offshore areas. Lake assemblage is quite different to the littoral or wetland assemblages. Examined ostracodes in cores obtained from littoral and deep-water. Assemblages from cores are consistent with those from the modern survey. One ostracode taxon in lake core identified as a salinity indicator. (16/12/2007).
