This thesis re-examines research conducted at the Oxbow Dam site (DhMn-1) in southeastern Saskatchewan in 1956, and new data collected in 1995/1996. The original material recovered was instrumental in defining the Oxbow cultural complex of the Northern Plains. Research carried out between 1960-90s suggested that the assemblage did not fit directly into the complex, but instead, represented a transitional period from antecedent Mummy Cave into an early example of Oxbow. The recent fieldwork results indicate that the site actually has multicomponents and that the Oxbow material is from a relatively late campsite from this complex.
