Flake scrapers. — There were 18 objects of this sort found, all with 

 one or more edges showing secondary chipping. They exhibit no 

 uniformity in either size or shape. Materials are tan and gray Flint 

 Hills cherts (pi. 57, j-l). 



Chopper. — One heavy chopper, manufactured of gray Flint Hills 

 chert with white inclusions, was found. It is pyriform m shape, and 

 shows no evidence of secondary chipping. It measures 118 mm. in 

 length and has a maximum width of 65 mm. and a maximum thickness 

 of 35 mm. 



Manos. — Seven manos were found at the site (pi. 57, m). All are 

 made of local sandstone. Six have two abrading surfaces, the re- 

 maining specimen only one. The bifacial specimens are subrectangu- 

 lar in shape, while the unif acial specimen is loaf shaped. Lengths of 

 the complete specimens vary from 15 to 83 mm., widths from 76 to 

 104 mm., and thicknesses from 39 to 50 mm. The unifacial specimen 

 has a maximum thickness of 83 mm. 



Ha/rmner stones. — Three hammerstones, two made from river peb- 

 bles and one from gray Flint Hills chert, were recovered. All are of 

 a size to fit conveniently in the hand, and all show evidence of bat- 

 tering on at least two surfaces. 



Unidentified ohjects. — Two unidentified objects may be manos or 

 abrading tools. Both are made of Cottonwood limestone. One is 

 rectangular when viewed from above, with the outline of a parallelo- 

 gram when viewed from the side. It is 148 mm. in length, 75 mm. 

 in width, and 23 mm. thick. The other piece is wedge shaped if 

 viewed from the side, ovoid if viewed from above. It has a sharp 

 edge at one end, perhaps used for cutting. It measures 87 mm. in 

 length and 73 mm. in width, and has a maximum thickness of 22 mm. 



Hematite. — Two pieces of soft hematite show evidence of having 

 been rubbed to produce paint. The smaller of the two pieces has 

 been rubbed on three surfaces. The pieces measure 62 and 31 mm. 

 in length, 52 and 30 mm. in width, and 29 and 9 mm. in maximum 

 thickness, respectively. 



CULTTJRAL AFFILIATION 



Artifacts recovered from the site suggest that it was occupied dur- 

 ing the Archaic period. Projectile points and blade fragments from 

 14GK,210 bear a closer resemblance to artifacts of the Archaic of 

 the Southeast than to those of a corresponding time period further 

 north and west in the Plains. 



Site 14GK216 



This is a rather extensive site located on a slight rise on the west 

 side of the Verdigris River (fig. 59). Brazell Creek flows into the
