Site 32SN40 was situated at the edge of a terrace, in SWYANEY, 
sec. 25, T. 141 N., R. 64 W., about 850 feet northwest of site 895N39 
The thin lens of occupational detritus occurred in sod, in an area 
about 160 feet northwest-southeast by 60 feet northeast—southwest. 
The only specimens recovered include: 
1 smoothed shoulder sherd ; 
2 smoothed body sherds; 
1 small modified flake of chalcedony. 
Site 382SN 41 lay on a terrace, in the center of NW1,, sec. 24, T. 141 
N., R. 64 W., a little over a mile north-northwest of site 325N40. 
The thin deposit of occupational debris occurred in alluvial silt, in 
an area about 190 feet east-west by 100 feet north-south. The follow- 
ing specimens were collected : 
1 wrapped-stick impressed near-rim sherd ; 
1 scored near-rim sherd ; 
3 simple stamped body sherds; 
1 cord-marked body sherd; 
1 smocthed body sherd; 
the distal fragment of a projectile point or knife in tan-brown chalcedony ; 
2 small flake scrapers in chalcedony ; 
2 modified flakes of chalcedony ; 
1 medium-size and 17 small to tiny waste flakes of chalcedony, chert and 
quartzite. 
The samples of material obtained from the eight unexcavated sites 
described above indicate with more or less certainty, particularly as 
regards the pottery fragments present on them, that they participated 
in the same cultural traditions as did the better-known Hintz and 
Joos sites. The apparently small size of most of these sites; the 
absence of discernible settlement features and the thinness of accumu- 
lated refuse in them; and the paltry samples of specimens taken from 
them (which in some cases may be considerably short of representa- 
tive samples of their recoverable contents)—all seem to imply that 
these sites were transitory camps of small groups that were culturally 
related to and contemporaneous with the larger population aggre- 
gates which occupied the Hintz and Joos sites. 
SYNTHESIS: THE STUTSMAN FOCUS 
The settlement features and burials unearthed at the Hintz and 
Joos sites and the artifacts and refuse materials recovered from the 
surface and excavations at those sites, plus the artifacts and detritus 
obtained from the bulldozed exposures at eight other sites in the 
Jamestown Reservoir area, appear to represent a single aboriginal
