SCRAPERS: 63 specimens—Continued 
Group 4: 33 specimens. Small irregularly shaped flakes that have been con- 
verted to use by removal of chips along one or more of the edges. These 
specimens appear to be fashioned from discarded flakes. 
ARROWSHAFT SMOOTHERS: 1 specimen. A fragment of sandstone, triangular in 
cross section. There is a groove on each of two sides running down the 
long axis of the tool. The grooves are 5 and 7 mm. wide (pl. 55, 9). 
SHARPENING STONES: 3 specimens. Two fragments of sandstone and 1 of lime- 
stone, with random grooves on one or more faces. The grooves are shallow 
and narrow, giving the impression that the specimens were only slightly 
used. 
RvuBBING STONE: 1 specimen. A fragment of quartz that displays two different 
surface treatments. One portion is rugged and has been used as a pecking 
surface, while the other is extremely smooth. 
SHELL 
One specimen. A small piece of mussel shell located on the surface. It 
appears to have been smoothed, but is too small to identify as to its use. 
MINERALS 
One sample of crumbled and powdery hematite located in a basin-shaped pit. 
SUMMARY 
In summary it may be said that the investigation in 1956 of the 
Smithsonian Institution field party added more evidence to the thesis 
put forth by Mary Kiehl Rusco in 1960, which states that 14JW1 
represents a component of the Glen Elder Focus, White Rock Aspect. 
Although only a small amount of pottery was recovered in 1956, when 
added to the collection obtained in 1937 (248 rims; 1,977 body sherds), 
it is thought to be an adequate sample. By far the majority of the 
sherds fall within the type indentified as Walnut Decorated Lip. A 
small portion of the rims located in 1937 were grouped under Miscel- 
laneous because they lack any decoration on the lip or on the lip 
interior but resemble Walnut Decorated Lip in all other respects. 
One rim has been identified as resembling pottery found at Aksarben 
sites. A total of 1 rim and 23 body sherds located at the site are shell- 
tempered and quite similar to pottery found at Oneota sites and sites 
with Oneota associations. 
Most of the pottery was collected from the surface. The excava- 
tions revealed no identifiable stratification of cultural or natural 
layers. The pottery types were intermixed, indicating an incorpora- 
tion of some foreign or new traits while the people of the Glen Elder 
Focus occupied the region. The amount of cultural material scattered 
about the surface and the shallowness of these deposits suggest that 
the site may have been a semipermanent village. Two excavations 
may have been habitations, but the archeological evidence is not con-
