A. Catalog No. 11X9-78, provenience unknown 
This type of chipped implement has been described by Chapman (1975, Archaeology 
of Missouri, !) under the name of Smith Basal Notched. He states that it is found 
throughout Missouri and also occurs in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Estimated 
dates are 5000-1000 B.C. and it is primarily a cutting tool of the Late Archaic period. 
The name comes from the Smith site in Delaware County, Oklahoma, the type site. 
B. Catalog No. 11X9-197, Osage Co., Missouri 
This type of point has been called Snyder’s Corner-Notched by Anta Montet-White 
(1968, Anthropological Papers, Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan No. 
e name is from the type site in Calhoun County, Illinois. This form of point 
is usually associated with the Middle Woodland culture called Hopewell which 
flourished for several centuries before and after the beginning of the Christian era. 
A similar point is said to have been made in the late Archaic period. The Snyder’s 
point has been found over much of the central Midwest, north into southwestern 
Michigan and south into Oklahoma. 
C. Catalog No. 11X4-334 St. Marys, Ste. Genevieve Co., Missouri 
This is an unusually large example of a type of chipped point which is common 
in the St. Louis area. Chapman (1975) describes it under the name of Etley Stemmed. 
Bell (1960) calls it the Et/ey Point and others simply Et/ey. The name is from the type 
site in Jersey County, Illinois, near Pere Marquette State Park. It was first described 
by the late Dr. Paul F. Titterington (1950) as were the large blades shown in Plate 29, 
which are believed to have sometimes been the blanks for the manufacture of Etley 
Stemmed. This form of point is associated with Late Archaic of approximately 
2000-500 B.C., according to Bell (1960) and is found in the Northwest Prairie and 
, 
a Prairie region of Missouri which extends into Illinois, according to Chapman 
975). 
D. Catalog No. 11X2-821, provenience unknown 
This large and beautiful implement is an example of Graham Cave Notched, as 
described by Chapman (1975, 248-249), although it is longer and wider than most. 
Many points of this type have incurvate blades as a result of resharpening, but this one 
shows no signs of reworking. Geographical distribution, according to Chapman (1975), 
takes in the equivalent of south, southwestern, south central and the eastern half of 
Missouri and adjoining areas in Illinois. Evidence from the Graham Cave site and other 
early midwestern sites indicates that such points are representative of the Early 
Archaic period and they are estimated to date about 8000-5000 B.C.
