Pap. No.' SsT TORONTO RESERVOIR AREA, KANS. — ^HOWARD 365 



width, and has a maximum thickness of 20 mm. It is manufactured 

 of gray-brown chert. The smaller specimen is 68 mm. in length, 

 26 mm. in width, and has a maximum thickness of 16 mm. It is of 

 tan chert. 



Flake scrapers. — Fourteen artifacts of this description were found 

 at the site. They are distinguished by one or more edges that show 

 secondary chipping. There seems to be no uniformity in size or 

 shape. Materials employed are tan and gray chert and, in one in- 

 stance, red jasper. 



Choppers. — Eight specimens assigned to this category were re- 

 covered at the site. Six are of tan chert and two of gray Flint Hills 

 material. They tend to be ovoid in shape and are worked to a cutting 

 edge by percussion flaking on two faces. The largest specimen is 

 83 mm. in length and 20 mm. in maximum thickness. The smallest is 

 50 mm. long and has a maximmn thickness of 13 mm. 



Celt. — One celt was recovered. It is made of Cottonwood lime- 

 stone and measures 94 mm. in length, 52 mm. in width, and 17 mm. in 

 thickness. The bit shows considerable wear. 



Ax. — One chipped ax of Cottonwood limestone was recovered. It 

 was apparently double-bitted originally, but one end has been broken 

 off. The bit measures 97 mm. in width, the groove 74 mm. It has 

 a maximum thickness of 31 mm. (pi. 58, to) . 



Piclc. — The site yielded one pick, also made of Cottonwood lime- 

 stone. The bit is slightly curved. The pick is 114 mm. in length, 

 has a maximum width of 69 mm., and a maximum thickness of 35 mm. 



Manos. — Seven manos were recovered, six of which were fragments. 

 The fragments are all of sandstone. Wlien complete, the sandstone 

 manos were probably subrectangular in shape, with two smooth grind- 

 ing surfaces. The only complete specimen is of Cottonwood lime- 

 stone. It has the outline of a parallelogram when viewed from above. 

 It is 133 mm. long, 59 mm. wide, and 23 mm. thick. 



Cupstone. — ^A single cupstone was recovered (pi. 58, t) . When com- 

 plete it was apparently ovoid, with two smooth faces on opposite sides. 

 In the center of each of these faces is a small depression. The piece 

 measures 74 mm. in diameter and has an average thickness of 43 mm. 

 The depressions are 22 and 27 mm. in diameter, and 3 and 4 mm. in 

 depth. 



Hammersfones. — ^Four battered hammerstones were recovered. 

 Three are of tan jasper, one of reddish-brown jasper. They are of a 

 size to fit conveniently in the hand and show no evidence of artificial 

 shaping. 



Core. — Only one core was recovered. It is made of a rather gran- 

 ular gray chert.
