151	00.30.171M	Projectile Point	Very knapped gray stone projectile point. Fractured horizontally, but the fractured edge is uneven. The point is broken off so it is flat, not sharp. The edges are serrated and thinned. One face has a small white protrusion in the bottom right area.
152	00.30.171N	Projectile Point	Projectile point that is mostly smooth around object. Top point is curved and bottom has two small corner notches that lead to a flat wide straight base. Color of object is beige with some browns and possibly red. Dirt is visible in some lines on stone.
153	00.30.171O	Scraper	Stone scraper in a roughly rectangular shape. The thick edge is red unworked stone with brown dirt in the topography of it. The two faces have distinct bands of beige, red, and pink. Each band has red, brown, and gray colored specks in it. The two shorter edges of the rectangle are rough and uneven. The thin edge is slightly concaved which may indicate a shaft straightener. Knap marks are especially dense by the edges. Short grooves/lines band across the center of the stone on the top face.
154	00.30.171P	Scraper	Curved beige stone scraper with a sharp thin edge. The big edge is flat and has beige, brown, and white in color. The outer face is uneven with beige and brown colors. The inner face is smooth and has the same beige and brown but also white patches. The thick top edge has smoother edges. The side edges and the scraper edge are thinned and sharp. There are some chips out of the stone, but no visible knap marks.
155	00.30.171Q	Core	Beige core or a horizontally-fractured projectile point. Both sides are knapped but one is thinner than the other. Edges are thinned and serrated with an obvious point. Fractured at the bottom leaving a smoother edge. The fractured base has gray and beige patterning in it.
156	00.30.171R	Core	Pink colored stone core in the shape of a triangle. Both sides are knapped so they have some topography, but the stone is an even thickness overall. The two long edges of the triangle are flat and smoothed even though they were knapped. The third edge is rounded across and shows knap marks. The stone is pink colored with some portions of beige, and with gray specks across it. The main point is sharp. The two other points are more rounded and are not sharp.
157	00.30.171S	Flake	Shiny red and black mottled small rectangular stone. The top, bottom, and left edges are smooth but slightly uneven. The right edge is thinner but still is not sharp.
158	00.30.171T	Flake	Oval-shaped thin stone flake. One edge is peach and beige. The majority of the stone is brown, red, and gray, plus gray specks. The bottom face is smooth. The top face is more uneven but is mostly flat with some knap marks.
159	00.30.171U	Flake	Very jagged and angled stone in a roughly round shape. Stone is lighter in weight than it appears to be. Large portions of the stone are gray. Various parts of the stone are beige with knap marks on all the surfaces except those smooth from being fractured. The edges are thin and sharp and the points are sharp.
160	00.30.171V	Scraper	Shades of reddish brown are visible on this thick, jagged, triangular stone. The bottom face has brown, black, blue, and red portions of stone with two main depressions in it that appear to have been caused by knapping. The top face is raised making it a triangular prism. The left portion is brown bumpy stone with only a small corner being smooth. The right portion is reddish brown and beige with many knapped portions. The front portion has the same reddish brown and beige colors but with a circular depression at the bottom. This depression is roughly the size of a thumb. The two smaller depressions on the bottom face fit with the position of the index and middle fingers. The scraping edge is thin, sharp, and slightly uneven.
161	00.30.171W	Flake	Thin red stone flake. The bottom face is varying shades of red. Knapping is evident with gray in the valleys of the topography. The top face is largely brown and beige unworked bumpy stone. The edges of the top face around the unworked stone is the same red color as the bottom face. Only the red portion has knap marks although the unworked stone is slightly uneven. The closest edge is smooth and flat and shows both the unworked stone color on top and the red color beneath it. The left edge is knapped and sharper. The top edge has been fractured so it is partially smooth but is still uneven. The right edge was knapped too.
162	00.30.171X	Scraper	Rounded thin stone scraper. The top face is beige with gray veins in it and brown marks on it. The bottom face is brown and gray with beige circles of color as well.

There is a patch of white with dark brown specks, and a patch of toffee-colored rock. The sides of the flint are layered with gray and white, with one side being layered with gray and brown. The other side of the rock has what looks to be a large chipped or weathered spot, revealing a rough patch of unworked rock with brown specks. Surrounding the unworked rock is marbled tan and brown stone.
180	00.30.173P	Core	Layered, multicolored, gray-veined core of brown stone. Irregular shape with sharp edges. Faces are either smooth or terraced with evidence of knap marks. Most of the stone is a caramel-colored brown, with gray veins and a beige background color.

186	00.30.79	Biface	Turtle back or rough scraper made of stone. The stone has a blend of brown, white, and black stone. The bottom of the lithic has a small crack that divides the piece in half. One half has a higher concentration of white stone, with a bit of brown stone blended with it. The other side of the crack has primarily dark brown stone, with very little dirt crevasses or fractures. This half also features a strong ride that goes from the edge to the middle of the piece. The top of the lithic is a lot more worn compared to the bottom, and it appears the colors of the rock are more layered. The edges of the piece are more of a grey-light brown stone while the middle is a strip of dark brown stone. There are many dirt patches on this side, but also a few patches of white stone.

198	00.30.98AI	Flake	Gray/blue crystalized stone flake in the shape of a rhombus. Three edges are thin, one is fractured so it's flatter and thick. Brown is on that flat edge. Parts of the stone are crystallized gray/blue, other parts are crystallized white. Streaks in the stone's uneven surface, with uneven topography, but all surfaces are shiny.
199	00.30.98AJ	Flake	Bottom portion of a rounded core. Object is knapped all over except on the fractured curved edge. Shades of red and brown make up the layers.
