Chipped Stone Articles. 



Material.s and Manufacturk.. 



The chipped implements in the Bureau collection are nearly always 

 made of some form of flint or similar chalcedonic rock, as it is easily 

 cliipped and can be brought to a keen edge or point. Sometimes 

 (|uaitz. quartzite, argillite, or even a more granular rock is used; but 

 this is infrequent, and is due to the scarcity of the more desirable 

 material.
