face. One of these sherds was found in the 0.5-foot to 1.0-foot level, 

 the other in the 1.0-foot to 1.5-foot level. These sherds have been 

 tentatively identified with the Cowley Plain type (Wedel, 1949, p. 

 87). 



The single smooth, grit-tempered sherd is light buff on its exterior 

 surface, gray on the interior. Its thickness is 8.5 mm. The outer 

 surface of this sherd seems to have been wiped with a bunch of grass 

 when the vessel was in a "leather" state. It was recovered in the 0-foot 

 to 0.5-foot level of the site. It has been tentatively identified with the 

 Geneseo Plaui type (Wedel, 1949, p. 88) . 



Projectile points. — Five complete projectile points and three frag- 

 ments were recovered at the shelter. These are readily divisible into 

 two groups on the basis of size. Two of the complete points and the 

 three fragments are "large point" styles, while the remaining speci- 

 mens are "small point" forms. All are manufactured of gray Flint 

 Hills chert. 



The largest of the projectile points (pi. 52, m') has an expanding 

 stem with a convex base. It is 50 mm. in length, has a maximum 

 width of 36 mm., and a maximum thickness of 9 mm. This projectile 

 point was found in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level. The second large 

 projectile point (pi. 52, h') also has an expanding stem, but the base 

 is concave. The shoulders, in the form of barbs, are carried back from 

 the notches to the level of the base of the stem. This point style seems 

 to be quite rare in this section of the country, judging from local col- 

 lections. It is 39 mm. in length, has a maximum width of 30 mm., 

 and a maximum thickness of 7 mm. It was recovered in the 0.5-foot 

 to 1.0-foot level. 



One of the small points is of the plain, triangular, unnotched variety. 

 It is 20 mm. in length, has a maximum width of 13 mm., and a maxi- 

 mum thickness of 3 mm. (pi. 52, i') . Another is shouldered and has 

 a straight stem with a convex base. It is 17 nun. in length, has a 

 maximum width of 12 mm., and a maximum thickness of 3 mm. (pi. 

 52, ^'). Both of these were recovered in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level. 

 A third small projectile point, recovered in the 1.5-foot to 2.0-foot level, 

 has side notches and a basal notch. It is 20 mm. long and has a maxi- 

 mum width of 12 mm., with a maximum thickness of 3.5 mm.

Drill. — A beautifully chipped drill of pink and tan chert was recov- 

 ered in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level. It is 61 mm. in length, has a 

 maximum width of 13 mm., and a maximum thickness of 8 mm. (pi. 



62, r). 



End scrapers. — Fragments of three end scrapers were recovered, 

 all in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level. An almost complete specimen meas- 

 ures 40 mm. in length, has a maximum width of 20 mm., and a maxi-
