from a large quarry blank. Three are of tan chert and one is of gray 

 Flint Hills material. 



Manos. — Four complete manos and one fragmentary specimen were 

 recovered. They are subrectangular, with the upper and lower sur- 

 faces worn smooth. Three of the complete specimens are of sandstone, 

 as is the fragment, while the remaining artifact is of limestone. 



The three sandstone manos have the following dimensions : lengths, 

 140, 125, and 72 mm. ; widths, 94, 90, and 60 mm. ; thicknesses, 55, 41, 

 and 30 mm., respectively. The limestone specimen is 117 mm. long, 

 94 mm. wide, and 55 mm. thick. All of the specimens show plow scars. 



Hoe. — ^A single hoe or hoe-like implement was found. It is made of 

 a quartzite river pebble, roughly triangular in outline, which has been 

 sharpened at the broad end by percussion flaking. It is 108 mm. in 

 length, has a maximum width of 66 mm., measured at the broad end, 

 and a maximum thickness of 32 mm., measured at the narrow end. 



Gelt. — A single celt was recovered. It is made of Cottonwood lime- 

 stone, a rather poor material for a cutting tool, one would think, be- 

 cause of its softness. The celt is typical in shape of those pecked from 

 harder material. It is 83 mm. long, has a maximum width of 51 mm., 

 measured at the blade end, and a maximum thickness of 23 mm., 

 measured at the poll. 



Unidentified stone objects. — Two pieces of worked siliceous hema- 

 tite were recovered. Both appear to be too hard to have served as 

 sources of paint, although it is difficult to conceive any other use for 

 them. Perhaps they were rubbed on some abrasive surface to secure 

 the desired pigment. One measures 27 mm. in length, 23 mm. in 

 width, and 9 mm. in thickness. The other is 22 mm. long, 10 mm. 

 wide, and 4 mm. thick. 



Unworhed stone. — A small piece of micaceous schist found at the 

 site was probably brought there by an individual who was attracted by 

 its sparkle and texture. It is 43 mm. long, 31 mm. wide, and 8 mm. 

 thick. 



OULTTJRAL AFFILIATIONS 



No cultural stratification could be distinguished at the site, since all 

 of the diagnostic artifacts were surface finds. On the basis of 

 typology, three components may be distinguished : Archaic, Aksarben, 

 and Great Bend. 



The Wallete Eockshelter (14W0222) 



This site is a small rockshelter overlooking Finger Creek, which 

 enters the Verdigris from the north (fig. 59). Several rather striking 

 petroglyphs are present on a fallen slab in front of the shelter (pi. 53) .
