Pap. i\^." fsT TORONTO RESERVOIR AREA, KANS. — ^HOWARD 351 



The polished sherd is brown in color throughout. The nature of 

 the tempering material, if any, cannot be ascertained. It is polished 

 on the outer surface and smooth, but unpolished, on the inner surface. 

 Its thickness is 5 mm. 



Projectile points. — The 13 projectile points from the shelter fall 

 into three distinct groups. The first, represented by two fragments, 

 is in the "large point" tradition (pi. 54, g, h). These points have 

 expanding stems. One has a convex base; the base of the other is 

 straight. Maximum widths of the two points are 31 and 30 mm.; 

 maximum thicknesses are 9 and 7 mm., respectively. The second point 

 shows evidence of attempted rechipping before abandonment. Both 

 points are made of gray Flint Hills chert that has white inclusions. 



The second style is represented by two specimens. These points 

 are small, and resemble those recovered in Plains Woodland sites in 

 Nebraska and Kansas. Points of this style were also recovered at 

 sites MW0216, 14GR210, and 14GR216. The first, nearly complete, 

 has an expanding stem with a concave base. It measures 30 mm. in 

 length by 12 mm. in width, and is 3 mm. thick (pi. 54, e). The other 

 has an expanding stem with a straight base. Its edges are serrated. 

 It is 13 mm. in width and 3 mm. thick (pi. 54, /) . The first is made 

 of gray Flint Hills chert, the second of tan chert. 



The remaining group is made up of nine points, two of which are 

 complete. They are in the small, triangular, "late horizon" style 

 (pi. 54, c, d) . All are minotched. The two complete specimens meas- 

 ure 19 and 24 nnn. in length by 11 and 15 mm. in maximum width, 

 with maximum thicknesses of 2 and 3 mm., respectively. Four of 

 the points are of gray Flint Hills chert, three of cream-colored chert, 

 one of pink chert, and one of brown jasper. 



In addition to the above specimens, eight additional projectile point 

 fragments, not complete enough for meaningful description, were 

 recovered. Four of these seem to have been in the "large point" tradi- 

 tion, the remainder of the "small point" type. The materials are 

 tan and gray Flint Hills cherts. 



Blades. — One complete and one fragmentary blade were recovered. 

 The complete blade is small, triangular m shape, and only 45 nun. long. 

 It has a maximum width of 23 mm. and a maximum thickness of 7 mm. 

 (pi. 54, I) . The large blade appears to have been slightly wider in 

 the midsection than at the base. The maximum width of the fragment, 

 measured at the point of breakage, is 47 mm. Width at the base is 34 

 mm., and the maximum thickness is 5 mm. (pi. 54, o). 



Knives. — Fragments of two lozenge-shaped, alternately beveled, 

 Harahey knives were recovered at the shelter. The more complete 

 specimen is made of light-gray chert, the other from a dark reddish- 

 gray chert (pi. 54, 5 ) .
