Abstract
Positive results were obtained from protein residue analysis on three Clovi
s points front Wally's Beach, southwestern Alberta. Two tested positive for
Equus, the third for a bovid, probably Bison or Bootherium. All genera are
present in the site remains. This finding clearly demonstrates use of Equu
s by Clovis hunters. Four C-14 dates indicate that the site was in rise bet
ween 11,000 and 11,300 B.P.
