pip. No!' 2^lY" TEXARKANA RESERVOIR — JELKS Si 



sett has been briefly described by Webb (1948, p. 132). It occurs in 

 components of the Texarkana, Belcher, Bossier, and Titus Foci. 



Fresno is one of the arrow points affiliated with the Central Texas 

 Aspect, and is also common in Henrietta Focus and Rockport Focus 

 components. First recognized as a type by Kelley (1947, pi. 13), it 

 has not yet been described. Fresno is a triangular, unstemmed point 

 with a straight to slightly concave or convex base. One face is fre- 

 quently left smooth and unchipped, and the general execution of 

 many specimens is relatively crude for arrow points. 



Blades. — Few blades that may have been used as knives were 

 found. Two small, crude blades may have been used for either 

 cutting or scraping purposes, while four expertly fashioned stemmed 

 blades (pi. 12, a-d) may be knives or possibly spear points.* Three 

 of the latter were found piled together in square N5-E120; the 

 fourth was in burial No. 5. All are made of Arkansas novaculite. 

 Similar blades occur frequently in both Gibson and Fulton Aspect 

 components, often in caches of two or more specimens. 



Drills (pi. 12). — Four chipped-stone drills were found, all medium- 

 small in size. Two of them are stemmed and one is unstemmed; 

 the other is a fragment too small for description. The blades have 

 been sharpened by pressure flaking from both faces. 



Scrajpers (pi. 12, k and I). — The six scrapers are irregular spalls 

 with one or more edges sharpened from one face. The scraping 

 edges of most of them are sharp, and some may have been used for 

 cutting purposes. 



Small picks (pi. 13). — These interesting items are called "picks" 

 for lack of a better name. They are shaped somewhat like hand 

 axes, but are very small, ranging from 4 to 8 cm. in length. They 

 are very crudely made and might well be classified as rejects if they 

 did not occur so frequently in sites of the region. They were made 

 by sharpening a small nodule of flint or chert to a point on one end 

 by percussion chipping; the other end of the nodule was not altered. 

 The implement was probably grasped in the hand by the smooth 

 end and used for light picking or chopping. Eight specimens were 

 f omid at Knight's Bluff. 



GROUND STONE 



Grinding slabs. — One fragment of a sandstone grinding slab was 

 found. As nearly as can be determined from the fragment, grinding 

 was performed with a circular motion. 



Manos (pi. 13, d). — Of the four manos, two are unshaped cobbles, 

 the other two have been pecked into an elongated shape with parallel 

 sides and rounded ends. The two unshaped manos and one of the 



•Author's note. These would now be classified as Pogo type spear points (Subm et al., 

 1954, p. 398. pi. 78).
