the Hintz site in 1946, 1952, and 1954. The specimens are described 
as follows. 
Projectile points (73 complete or incomplete but identifiable specimens, and 
92 unclassifiable fragments). Four styles of points are present: 
Small triangular points with straight or slightly convex sides and 
straight or concave base (87 examples; fig. 38, a-d). Made prin- 
cipally of chalcedony and quartzite, and usually fully retouched on 
both faces, these specimens weigh between 0.8 and 1.7 gm. 
Small bilaterally side-notched points, with straight base (25 examples; 
fig. 33, e). Made largely of chalcedony and fully retouched on both 
faces, these specimens weigh between 0.9 and about 2.0 gm. 
Small triangular point with single notch at the base (one example). 
Made of quartzite and fully retouched on both faces, the specimen 
weighs 0.6 gm. 
Stemmed points, with straight or convex sides, barbed or weakly barbed 
shoulders, expanding stem narrower or rarely wider than the 
shoulders, and straight, sometimes smoothed base (ten examples; fig. 
33, f-j). Made of chalcedony or quartzite and fully retouched on 
both faces, the measurable specimens weigh from about 1.7 to 8.0 gm. 
These points may be regarded as “heirloom” pieces derived from com- 
plexes much older than the one represented at the site. 
Projectile point “rejects” (3 examples). Subtriangular in outline and only 
partially retouched, these specimens, in jasper and quartzite, weigh from 
2.1 to 2.8 gm. 
Knives (53 whole or broken specimens; fig. 33, kK). Intact specimens are 
generally small and subtriangular or ovate. Made principally of chal- 
cedony and quartzite, the specimens show varying degrees of finish by 
pressure retouch. 
Flake scrapers (48 specimens; fig. 33, 7). These are generally small, oc- 
casionally medium-size random flakes (mainly of chalcedony, with a 
single example of obsidian), unifacially retouched along one or more edges. 
End scrapers (65 whole or fragmentary specimens; fig. 33, m—o). These 
small, subtriangular to subrectangular specimens, made almost exclusively 
of brown chalcedony, are unifacially retouched over the entire convex face, 
or along all edges, or along the chamfered working edge only. 
Drills (4 specimens; fig. 33, p, gq). These small specimens, all of chalcedony, 
are T-shaped, sickle-shaped, or stemmed. They are fully retouched on all 
faces or along the edges of the convex face only (fig. 33, q). 
Arrowshaft-cutters (2 specimens.) Made in chalcedony and flint, each 
small specimen has a prepared concave inset on one side which would be 
suitable for cutting reeds or twigs for arrowshafts. 
Choppers or scrapers (8 specimens). Three large core-tools of chert and 
quartzite, roughly chipped by percussion, would have served as choppers 
or scrapers. 
Hand-hammers (15 specimens, fig. 34, g). One discoidal object of quart- 
zite, illustrated, and 14 amorphorous objects of quartzite and granite 
(drift cobbles?) show varying degrees of battering as though they had 
served as hammers or pounders. 
Three-quarter-grooved hammer (1 specimen). This object, of indurated 
sandstone, has a flattened bit and rounded poll. The carefully pecked 
groove runs across both faces and one edge about midway between the 
bit and poll.
