lakes from each of the four testing areas had straight or con-
vex edges that appeared crushed or nibbled (small chips removed without
any pattern) from useage as scraping or cutting tools.
A significant number of flakes and tools were recovered that have
the high gloss of heated chert to indicate that the practice of heat
treating chrt fcr snapping was intentional.
A risuarping brin s1pall from 41PC382 (Catalog No. W 16, Area C,
Uni.zt 75, 10 to 2 recovered. Size: 31 mm long, 5 mm wide,
4 mm thick
A posial o. S 108S, Area B, Unit 60,
21 cm deep) was recovered; but, the burin cutting tip may have been
accidental as no wear could be seen on the tip. Size: 47 mm long, 30 mm
wide, 19 mm thick, tan. It had cortex on one edge and one side. It had

Chipped stone. toois could be placed within five groups. These groups
are Archaic dart points from surface finds at 41PC382, and arrowpoints,
thin bifaces, thick bifaces, and unifaces from the excavated units.
the prime purpose was to teach techniques, the collection of sur-
a-ccR material was kept to a minimum. Five large Archaic projectile points
,ere located as surface finds at Site 41PC382. The location of these are
shown on Figure 3. They were mapped in place and collected. Two were

long a single straight to convex edge. The underface is the flat,
unmodified, original cleavage of the flake on which they were produced.
No bulb of percussion remains are present on these fragments. Two

A unifacially worked specimen from 41PC381 (Catalog No. C 2, Unit
2N14E, surface) is worked along a convex edge. The bulb of percussion

ur unifaicially worked specimens from 41PC382 have individual
