This paper reports the results of 107 radiocarbon age estimates at and around the vicinity of four archaeological site localities in southwest Manitoba, central Saskatchewan, and southeast Alberta. Age estimates are reported from archaeological excavations, geomorphological and geoarchaeological investigations of the sites and relevant post-glacial landscape features, and from paleoenvironmental investigations. Pertinent laboratory and contextual information is reported along with a summary of the relevance of age estimates and relationships among age estimates.
