Several other recognized pottery types, although poorly repre- 

 sented at Knight's Bluff, might be considered minor resident types 

 because they consistently occur in association with some of the prin- 

 cipal resident types at nearby related sites. One group of these 

 consists of types considered indigenous to the Texarkana Focus: 

 Cass Appliqued (24 sherds found at Knight's Bluff), Simms En- 

 graved (7 sherds), Foster Trailed-Incised (6 sherds), Avery En- 

 graved (3 sherds), Hatchel Engi-aved (2 sherds), Bowie Engraved 

 (1 sherd), and rattle bowls (3 sherds). Two types affiliated with 

 the Belcher Focus, Belcher Ridged (10 sherds), and Belcher En- 

 graved (2 sherds) were found. 



The only other types identified are 13 sherds of Pennington 

 Punctated-Incised (an Alto Focus type), 6 sherds of Crockett Cur- 

 vilinear Incised (a type shared by the Alto and Haley Foci), and one 

 sherd of a tentative bottle type, Higgins Engraved, briefly described 

 in this report on page 61. 



Other ceramic artifacts are 16 fragments of pipes (pi. 11, &, e, /, ^, i) 

 and 1 fragment of what appears to have been an earspool (pi. 11, j). 

 Fifteen of the pipe fragments are from long-stemmed, thin-walled 

 pipes similar to those pictured by Moore (1912, fig. 53, p. 549) 

 from the Haley Site, by Webb and Dodd (1939, pi. 26) from the 

 Gahagan Site, and by Newell and Krieger (1949, fig. 63, p. 149) 

 from the Davis Site. The other pipe fragment (pi. 11, i) is appar- 

 ently from one of the thick-walled elbow pipes typical of many 

 Fulton Aspect components. 



CHIPPED STONE 



Dart points (pi. 11). — ^A total of 54 dart points was found at 

 Knight's Bluff. Twenty-three of them are of the Gary type (Newell 

 and Krieger, 1949, p. 166), 10 are Ellis (ibid., pp. 166-167), 2 are 

 Yarbrough (ibid., p. 168), and the other 19 are of indeterminate 

 type. All the dart point types are of widespread distribution in the 

 Caddoan Area, both in space and time. They all seem to occur in 

 Archaic components as well as in both the Gibson and Fulton Aspects. 



Arrow points (pi. 11). — Seven arrow points were recovered, one 

 each of the types Maud, Bassett, and Fresno, and four indeterminate 

 fragments. 



Maud is a triangular, unstemmed point with a V-shaped concavity 

 in the base. It was first recognized as a type by Krieger, but has 

 not been described in print.* Maud is thought to be a diagnostic 

 trait of the Texarkana Focus. 



Bassett is similar in most respects to Maud, but has a tiny pointed 

 stem in the basal concavity. Also first recognized by Krieger, Bas- 



*Authob's note. Maud, Bassett, and Fresno are described In detail by Suhm et al. 

 (1954).
