maximum width of 20 mm., is 8 mm. thick, and when complete meas- 

 ured approximately 62 inm. in length (pi. 52, a) . 



The second style, represented by two complete points and four frag- 

 ments, is of the contracting-stem type generally identified with the 

 Archaic or Early Woodland cultures. The longer of the two speci- 

 mens is made of tan chert. Its dimensions are : length, 62 mm. ; maxi- 

 mum width, 23 mm. ; and maximum thickness, 8 mm. (pi. 62, c) . The 

 other, apparently a reworked point, is 53 mm. long, with a maximum 

 width of 30 mm. and a maximum thickness of 8 mm. (pi. 52, d). 

 Maximum widths of the other four specimens are 37, 33, 25, and 24 mm. 



The third and most numerous style is large, with barbed shoulders 

 and an expanding stem, either straight or convex at the base. Four 

 nearly complete specimens range in length from 56 to 42 mm., while 

 a clearly reworked point is only 30 mm. long. Widths vary between 



36 and 22 mm., and maximum thicknesses between 6 and 10 mm. 

 Seven incomplete specimens of this type were also recovered. Ma- 

 terials are tan and gray Flint Hills cherts (pi. 52, e~i). 



A fourth style is represented by four nearly complete specimens 

 and one fragment. Here the stems are straight, and the barbed 

 shoulders characteristic of the previous style are absent. Lengths of 

 the four nearly complete specimens are 59, 51, 48, and 38 mm. Widths 

 are 24, 22, 24, and 24 mm. The average maximum thickness is 8 mm. 

 Materials are gray Flint Hills chert, tan chert, and pink chert (pi. 

 52, ^,Z). 



The fifth style is represented by one complete projectile point and 

 three fragments. These are small, expanding-stem points with barbed 

 shoulders, and resemble those recovered in Plains Woodland sites in 

 Nebraska and Kansas (Kivett, 1952, pi. IX A, Nos. 6, 9, and 10; pi. 

 XVI A, No. 4 ; 1953, pi. 23 a, bottom row, 3d, 4th, and 5th specimens) . 

 Materials are gray and pink cherts. The only complete specimen is 



37 mm. long. Widths of the points are 17, 16, 16, and 12 mm. Maxi- 

 mum thicknesses are 4, 4, 4, and 3 mm. (pi. 52, j, mr-o). 



The sixth style is represented by five complete specimens. This is 

 the familiar "late horizon" triangular style. All lack side notches, 

 but one has a basal notch. Lengths of the specimens vary from 30 to 

 19 mm. ; widths, measured at the base, between 15 and 11 mm. The 

 points average 3.5 mm. in maximum thickness. Materials are gray 

 and cream-colored cherts (pi. 52, p-t). 



In addition to these specimens, 30 fragments of projectile points, 

 all in the "large point" tradition, were recovered. Materials em- 

 ployed are gray Flint Hills chert, tan chert, and cream-colored chert. 



Knives and hlades. — Twenty-seven fragments of knives or blades 

 were recovered at the site. Twenty-three of these were apparently 

 pyriform in shape when complete. The other four were undoubtedly
