   Oxbow
   . a town in southeastern Saskatchewan which has lent its name to a Middle Prehistoric Period projectile point style and the complex with which it is found in association . Oxbow points tend to be short and squat with bold side- notching and a basal concavity which lends them an eared appearance. The bases and notches may be ground. Other items in the inventory include "un-notched points" or preforms , a variety of scrapers , knives and bifaces, drills, perforators, choppers, hammerstones, anvils, antler awls, bone beamers and flaking tools and drilled clam shells. Although representations of a variety of floral and faunal species may be found in Oxbow components , bison appear to have been central to the economy of these people. Oxbow sites are found across the grassland regions of the Canadian Prairie Provinces and into the forests to the north. Most radiocarbon dates cluster between 3300 and l000 B.C. although some would argue that it persists much longer (see Extended McKean-Oxbow Complex ). It would seem that the oldest sites are those from the grasslands with dates becoming progressively more recent to the north. This has led some archaeologists to believe that over time, Oxbow populations became increasingly dependent upon the resources of the forests for subsistence . The origin of the Oxbow Complex is controversial and eastern as well as western origins have been suggested.

    Oxbow
    An `oxbow` is a U-shaped wooden frame that fits under and around the neck of an ox, with its upper ends attached to the bar of the yoke. When rivers meander and are sometimes cut off from their course, they form an `oxbow lake` which is so named because of the distinct ``U`` shape. Category:Animal equipment
