Testing at the Anderson site (FdOt-1) in east-central Alberta revealed a sporadic utilization of the site since the Middle Prehistoric period. A single intact occupation level representing the Bitterroot phase yielded an extensive tool assemblage amongst a faunal processing area. Dates from two bone samples indicate an occupation of 4700 B.P. for these side-notched projectile points. There is evidence to suggest that the occupation took place in a grassland environment unlike the existing parkland conditions of today
