On behalf of Alberta Transportation and Utilities, Bison Historical Services Limited carried out a two year program of archaeological site mitigation at DkPi-2, the Highway 2/3 Junction Site, just west of Fort Macleod, Alberta.  It was occupied intermittently between 910 B.P. and 380 B.P. by groups assignable to the Old Women’s Phase.  The site was used for bison pounding, butchering, processing and habitation between late fall and early spring.  The site yielded over 1.25 million artifacts, including butchered bone, shell, lithic tools, bone tools, debitage, pottery and fire broken rock.
