site (14W0228), with a possible component at 14WO209. The 

 Possum Point site seems to be predominantly Great Bend. Compo- 

 nents of this aspect were identified by heavy, smooth, grit- or shell- 

 tempered pottery, gray, buff, or orange-buff in color. The presence 

 of this material in the Toronto Reservoir area extends the known 

 distribution of this aspect, hitherto known only from sites in Central 

 Kansas. 



The Great Bend people continued the hunting, gathering, and maize 

 horticulture subsistence pattern established and developed in the area 

 by the earlier Kansas City Hopewell, Plains Woodland, and Aksarben 

 people. Great Bend sites are apparently smaller than those of the 

 Aksarben Aspect, a fact which may reflect the unstable conditions 

 that seem to have characterized this area in early historic times.
