註釋
Plains Indians have long been a popular image in the mind of the public. Although many drive sites exist in the Northern Plains and receive greater public attention than other sites, little scientific work was done on them until the early 1950's. When scientific work, by professionals and by amateurs, was finally begun, it often centered on singular aspects of these sites of vast size and complexity. Even after standard methods and procedures of attacking and excavating these sites were developed, complete site reports failed to come forth. The zest for archaeological digging is often greater than the pressure to present the achievements of the work in a final comprehensive report, since for many people writing is drudgery beyond their desire or ability. This report on the Gull Lake Site, Saskatchewan's largest and most complicated bison drive site, enlarges the scientific and popular conceptions of these sites. We also hope it will stimulate the professional and amateur archaeologists who have been investigating bison drive sites to publish the results of their careful investigations. -- Preface
