of the bone and on one side only. Similar implements have been 
illustrated from the Burkett site in Nebraska (Wedel and Hill, 1943) 
and the Arzberger site in South Dakota (Spaulding, 1956). Ethno- 
graphic data concerning the use of this type of tool in manufacture 
of pottery are in agreement with previous archeological assertions 
(Newman, 1955). Although Walnut Decorated Lip and Group B 
ceramics do not readily show ridges and grooves, evidence of simple 
stamping Is apparent upon close examination. 
Ornaments and gaming devices were few in number and found at 
only two of the sites. At the Intermill site a tubular copper bead was 
located in the plowed soil. However, the majority of the camp ma- 
terials were collected from this soil layer; hence it seems plausible 
that the bead may be associated with the other cultural remains. 
Copper ornaments and beads of this type were also found at Oneota 
sites (Hill and Wedel, 1936; and Berry and Chapman, 1942). A 
small fragment of belemnite was recovered from cache fill at the 
Warne site. A worn groove at one end of the object suggests an at- 
tempt to manufacture a bead or pendant. One small stone ball made 
of Niobrara Chalk, probably obtained from the local outcrops, was 
located in a cache at the same site. The ball measures about 1.5 inches 
in diameter and has a fairly smooth surface. 
Shell was extremely rare at all the sites. A few fragments were 
located in the cache fills, but these were too small for identification. 
Worked shell was totally absent. One section of antler displaying 
a few worn surfaces was recovered from the Warne site. 
Five specimens of glass were found at the Intermill site. One 
piece, recovered from the surface, has fine pressure flaking along one 
of the edges. Its relationship to the main occupation site is uncertain. 
Objects of iron were located on the surface and within the plow 
zone at the Intermill site. Apparently all these pieces are associated 
with White settlement in the area. 
The only evidence of human skeletal remains was uncovered at the 
Warne site. One section of a mandible and a fragment of cranium, 
neither of which had been worked, were found in separate cache pits. 
I was told of an extended “Indian” burial that was disturbed by a 
road crew during construction of the new Highway 14, which bisects 
the Warne site. Numerous surveys were made over the area of the 
supposed burial ground, but nothing was located. 
Vegetal specimens generally consisted of charred corn kernels. In 
almost all instances, the remains were recovered from features such 
as postmolds or cache pits. At the Warne site charred grass frag- 
ments and what “may be bone marrow or dried meat fibers” (Nicker- 
son, personal communication) were collected. From the Intermill site
