mum thickness of 6 mm. This specimen is made of pink chert, the 

 other two are of light-gray chert (pi, 52, n') . 



Flake scrappers. — Two artifacts of this type were recovered, both in 

 the uppermost level. The first has three edges that show secondary 

 chipping. It measures 60 mm. by 30 mm., with a maximum tliickness 

 of 8 mm. The second also has three working edges. It measures 57 

 mm. in length by 35 mm. maximum width, with a maximum thickness 

 of 7 mm. Both are made of gray Flmt Hills chert. 



Sharpening tool. — ^A sandstone sharpening tool, probably employed 

 to sharpen and smooth wooden, bone, and antler implements, was 

 found in the uppermost level of the site. It has smoothed faces on 

 opposite sides, and a narrow groove toward one end. It is 74 mm. 

 long, has a maximum width of 40 mm., and a maximum thickness of 

 11 mm. 



Gupstone. — A single cupstone, made of reddish sandstone, was found 

 in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level. It is irregular in shape, measuring 

 85 mm. by 85 mm., with a maximum thickness of 30 mm. On one face 

 there is a circular, pecked depression, 26 nnn. in diameter and 5 mm. 

 in maximum depth (pi. 52, o'). 



Hoes. — One complete hoe and a fragment that apparently represents 

 the blade of another were recovered. The complete hoe is made of a 

 grayish-green indurated sandstone. The broad edge of the tool has 

 been sharpened by the removal of several large percussion flakes. The 

 pointed end could have been hafted to a wooden handle. This object 

 measures 160 mm. in length, 63 mm. in width at the widest part, and 

 is 19 mm. thick. It was recovered in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level 

 (pi. 52,/). 



The fragment is made of Cottonwood limestone. It is 56 mm. wide 

 at the point of breakage and has a maximum thickness of 15 mm. It 

 was recovered in the 0.5-foot to 1.0- foot level. 



Hammerstone. — ^A single hammerstone, consisting of a river pebble 

 with signs of battering on several faces, was recovered in the 0-foot 

 to 0.5-foot level. It is 50 mm. in length and 35 mm. in diameter at 

 the center. 



Gore. — ^A gray chert core was recovered in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot 

 level. It is 40 mm. in length, 32 mm. in width, and has a maximum 

 thickness of 37 mm.

 Smooth shell and grit-tempered sherds identify a component of the 

 Great Bend Aspect. These sherds may well be associated with the
