Reruse MATERIALS 
Materials grouped under this heading include chipping debris, bone- 
working debris, minerals, and faunal and vegetal remains, described 
as follows. 
Chipping debris—Several hundred cores and flakes, the residuum of stone 
chipping, were collected and saved from the Hintz site. The materials are 
principally of chalcedony, jasper, and quartzite, of varying texture and colors. 
Bone-working debris.—One head of a scapula, and one articular joint of a 
long bone, of bison, appeared to have been cut by chopping or slicing. 
Minerals—One lot of powdered limcnite and two rounded pieces of hema- 
tite appeared to have been used by the Hintz people as pigments. 
Faunal remains.—Of the thousands of unworked bones and teeth and bits of 
bone and tooth scrap collected at Hintz, the following were identified :

obtained from the Hintz site were charred and uncharred pits of wild plum, 
Prunus americana. 
THE JOOS SITE, 32SN30 
This site lay on the treeless, boulder-strewn crest of a ridge, a 
north-south outlier of the high bluff along the west side of the James 
River, in NWIANWY, sec. 12, T. 140 N., R. 64 W., about 34 mile 
south of the Hintz site. The site occurred in a large permanent 
pasture. 
Located in August 1952 by two members of the Missouri Basin 
Project field party which was then excavating at Hintz, the Joos site, 
named for the cooperative landowner, was found to exhibit five small 
circular or oval depressions. Three of these depressions occurred in 
a cluster near the south end of the ridge; a single depression lay at
