notches, and is slightly curved when viewed from the side. It was 

 probably about 33 mm. in length when complete, has a maximum width 

 of 10 nun., and a maximum thickness of 3 mm. It is made of gray 

 Flint Hills chert (pi. 51, e') . 



Blades. — Four pyriform blades, two nearly complete and two frag- 

 mentary, were recovered. All are of gray Flint Hills chert. They 

 vary in width from 22 to 40 mm., and in thickness from 9 to 13 mm. 

 The two nearly complete specimens measure 53 and 59 mm. in length 

 (pl.51,f). 



End scrapei's. — Two complete planoconvex end scrapers were re- 

 covered. Both are manufactured of gray Flint Hills chert. The first 

 measures 35 by 30 imn. and has a maximum thickness of 7 mm. (pi. 51, 

 h' ) . The second measures 45 by 30 nun. and has a maximum thickness 

 of 10 mm. (pi. Slj^/'). 



Flake scrapers. — Two artifacts of this description were recovered. 

 The first is made of pink chert and measures 26 x 20 mm. with a maxi- 

 mum thickness of 4 mm. Tlie second, of tan chert, is 72 mm. long, 27 

 mm. in width, and 11 mm. thick (pi. 51, /). Both are ovate in form, 

 flat on one side, worked on the other. 



Chopper. — The basal portion of a heavy stone chopper was recov- 

 ered at the site. It is 70 mm. in width at the point of breakage and 

 has a maximum thiclaiess of 25 mm. 



Celts. — Three small celts, similar to each other in shape, but of var- 

 ied materials, were found at the site. The first and smallest has been 

 chipped from a fragment of dark gray micaceous schist. Its cutting 

 edge is polished from use. It measures 80 mm. in length, 43 mm. in 

 width, and has a maximum thickness of 13 mm. (pi. 51, ^'). The sec- 

 ond is made of the Cottonwood formation limestone so common in 

 artifacts from this area. It has apparently been cut into shape by 

 an implement of some harder stone. This celt is 100 mm. long, has a 

 maximum width of 46 mm., and a maximum thickness of 27 mm. It 

 seems rather odd to find a celt made of this soft, rather porous stone 

 (hardness 3.5, celestite), yet collections from this area contain celts, 

 boatstones, and even grooved axes fashioned of this material. 



The third celt has been chipped from a light tan chert. It is 123 

 mm. long, has a maximum width of 60 mm., and a maximum thickness 

 of 27 mm. (pi. 51,>^'). 



Manos. — Eight manos, and mano fragments, were recovered. Seven 

 of these are of sandstone, and the smallest specimen is made of mica- 

 ceous schist. All are subrectangular, with smooth grinding surfaces 

 on the top and bottom and partially smoothed edges and comers. The 

 largest specimen is 153 mm. long, 96 mm. wide, and 40 mm. thick. Six 

 of the others are but slightly smaller than this. The eighth specimen 

 is but 55 mm. long, 50 mm. wide, and 23 mm. thick, and appears to have
