1	00.30.101AA	Chip	Beige stone chip with smooth sides. One face is dark brown with black specks, appearing to be the original stone. The next face is a dark beige. Another face is lighter beige, appearing to show the progression from unworked darker stone to worked lighter stone. Points are sharp.
2	00.30.101AB	Flake	Beige stone flake, appearing to be a partially-made projectile point. Bottom edge is pointed, not flat. Edges are thin and points are sharp. One face is smooth and has knap marks on the right edge. Tiny black specks in the stone, and small gray discolorations in the lower half. Other face is brown and white in the main portion of the stone, appearing to be the original stone. The worked sections by the point are knapped and thinner than the main section of the stone, also plain brown in color. Two small holes drilled into this face of the stone which are two of the gray discolorations on the other side.
3	00.30.101AC	Chip	White stone chip with gray specks in it. Irregular shape with a flat bottom. Top face has two ridges that come toward the middle where they meet. The edges are thin and sharp. Only one edge is more flat and is not sharp.
4	00.30.101AD	Chip	Brown stone chip. Top edge is brown and gray speckled, appearing to be the original unworked stone. The majority of the stone is worked and shows a pink-hued brown stone. This part has brown specks and white veins in the rock. All faces have knap marks but they are most evident on the top face. Back face is smoothed but shows knap marks at the bottom. The top edge that is brown and gray speckled shows knap marks and is rather uneven, showing the progression of rock color from when it was being knapped. The other edges are thinner and sharper. The points are sharp as well.
5	00.30.101K	Core	Brown, gray, and white stone core. Waving, round patterns or spirals in the stone. Different lines in the rock are different colors. The stone is rectangular in shape but the right side is much thicker than the left side, like the left side had been worked more than the right. Both the front and back faces are very smooth. The left edge is thin, sharp, and smooth. The top and bottom edges are flat. The bottom edge is dark brown color, presumably the color of the original unworked stone. The right edge is uneven and shows the progression from unworked to worked stone from the bottom to the top.
6	00.30.101L	Core	Gray stone core. Very jagged and rough topography, in a rough rectangular shape. Knapp marks on both sides and all the edges. There is brown color in the stone especially on the front face. The corners are sharp. The top and right edges are sharp and thin. The left edge has sharp sections but has no single edge. The bottom edge is thin but less sharp than the others. The bottom face has rough topography in dark gray and red color.
7	00.30.101M	Flake	Stone flake with one face having a rough topography and brown and red in color. The other face is smooth with a brown stripe, pink-beige, lighter brown, and another pink-beige stripe in the rock from bottom to top. The shape is roughly rectangular with the top edges being slightly curved. The left edge is smooth and rounded and appears to be the original edge of the stone. The top and right edges are flat but show the original rock color that matches the stripes on the front of the stone. The bottom edge is the most jagged and matches the pattern of rock on the back face.
8	00.30.101T	Scraper	Gray stone scraper in a rectangular shape. The right short edge is rounded, and the left edge has a point sticking out. The left and bottom edges are thin and sharp. The right edge is sharp but not thin. The top edge is uneven and has the original color of stone--white with gray and brown specks in it. The main portion of the stone is gray with beige veins in it. The front face is smooth. The bottom portion of the stone on the front face had been knapped and then smoothed to a thinner edge that is the scraper part of the stone. The back face is the same color pattern and is smoothed as well. A slight curvature of the stone also indicates it was a scraper.
9	00.30.101U	Core	Stone core--a flat oval with a rectangular protrusion on one side of the oval. The top face is split into two sections of color based on the shape of the stone. Where the oval and rectangle shapes of the stone meet, there is a dark red stripe in the stone on this front face. The rectangle-shaped section of the top face is unworked and brown, beige, red, and gray with small amounts of pitting. The oval-shaped section of the top face is worked, smooth, beige and pink veins, with gray specks. Knap marks on one side and smoothed on the other. The back face is worked and smooth. It is first brown and gray unworked stone at one edge, then moves to a dark red stripe, then gray stone, and then beige, gray, and red pattern for the majority of the stone. Signs of the beginning of a drill hole in this section of the stone.
10	00.30.101V	Flake	Beige and white roughly round stone flake. One side smooth and beige in color with one strip of brown unworked stone along one side. Other face is mostly unworked stone in gray and beige colors. One small portion is smooth and worked stone. Shows knap marks on that smooth side at the edge. All edges are sharp and thin but the points are no sharper than the thin edges naturally are.
11	00.30.101W	Flake	Stone flake. The shape of the stone is a rough rectangle shape with a triangular point pointing left. One face is smooth and of uneven thicknesses. Most is beige, a band in the middle and right side are gray. Leftmost corner is orange. The back face is smooth, worked stone on the left half and brown, rough, unworked stone on the right half. The top edge is the same unworked stone of brown and some white coloring. The left and bottom edges are thin, sharp, and have very few knap marks.

The stem of the point is very wide and has a slight convex shape. The edges are jagged and rough, a product of knapping. The edge of the point is fairly rounded, with a small black dot on the right side of the tip.
16	00.30.111II	Arrowhead	Norton point made of jasper. The projectile point is a blend of beige, white and dark red stone. On one side of the point, red rock is primarily on the stem of the point, with scratches of red on the blade. The opposite side has red isolated to the left side of the stem, with splotches of red found near the point of the blade. This side also has a deep crescent-shaped notch near the left side notch. Corner notches are pretty prominent. The blade of the point has uneven edges and the point is fairly sharp and in tact.
17	00.30.111JJ	Arrowhead	Waubesa point arrowhead. Rock is primarily red but it has a beige and dark brown in a few places. The base is shaped into a point. Serrated edges and the base stem has a contracting shape. The shoulder stem is small and barbed. Original rock color can be seen in one area of object.
18	00.30.111KK	Arrowhead	Tama point arrowhead. The arrowhead is made of white stone, the stone having a pink hue to it. Side notched with small rounded shoulders. Concave base with curved auricle. Rock is knapped well and edges are not to sharp, point is good too. Tiny dark brown lines are found throughout the arrowhead.
19	00.30.111V	Projectile Point	Projectile point made of white stone. The shoulders of the point stick out a smidge, but are generally following the shape of the blade. The base has no distinct shape, with one side shorter than the other. The edges of the blade are serrated and sharp. Knapping marks can be found on the blade. One side of the point has a few orange splotches near the middle of the blade.

35	00.30.171AO	Scraper	Curved beige and gray rectangular stone scraper. The inner face is smooth and has three distinct color sections: gray, beige, and brown. The outer face is smooth on half of it while the other half is unevenly knapped. The top edge of the scraper is unevenly shaped and colored. One of the short edges is knapped unevenly but is very short in length. The scraping edge and the adjacent short edge are thin and sharp. The points are moderately sharp.
36	00.30.171AP	Flake	Thin brown flake in a rounded rectangular shape. The bottom face is smooth with a reddish pink band of color including some gray on one side. The top face appears to be the original unworked stone and has a ridge across it with the reddish color there and the brown being farther away from the ridge. The edges are thin and sharp, as are all the points. Only a couple of knap marks are present at one corner of the top face.
37	00.30.171AQ	Flake	Triangular shaped stone with brown, gray, and beige portions. The longest edge was fractured so it is smooth and is only slightly bumpy on one half. The other two edges are thin and slightly sharp. The point is thin and sharp but not pointy. A portion from the middle of the top face is fractured off but the colors still match the surrounding colors of stone. Knap marks are visible on the top face along the fractured edge. The bottom face is flatter than the top one but still has a slight bumpy texture. A slight depression is visible in the center where the beige- and gray-colored sections meet. The bottom face is more gray-hued than the top which has more brown color tones.
38	00.30.171AR	Flake	Gray stone flake in a circular shape. One edge has the original brown and gray (with some white) mottled stone on a thin strip, but the rest of the stone is a light gray color with dark gray specks in it. The top face has knap marks along the edges, but the center portion is smoothed. The bottom face is smooth all over it but there is one thicker area near the edge of unworked stone. The edges (excluding the flat unworked edge) are thin, sharp, and jagged.
39	00.30.171AT	Flake	Oval shaped flat stone. The top face has a raised plateau in the center. The patterning of beige and gray mottled stone continues across the top. Two small portions are a peachy pink color with gray specks. The bottom face is smooth but has some texture. The bottom has a bump in the stone that is thicker than the rest of it. Along the left edge is the same beige and gray pattern as on the top but it looks like a series of mountain peaks when rotated 90 degrees left. The rest of the stone is largely a pinkish beige with brown specks in it. One part in the center along the right edge is the same peachy pink color as the top face. The top and bottom edges are flat but slightly bumpy. The left and right edges are thin and sharp. No visible knap marks.
40	00.30.171AU	Flake	Thin oval-shaped flake. A small triangular shaped chip is removed from one edge. The rest of the edges are thin and sharp. The top face is smooth and is mostly dark red but has some brown and yellow. The bottom face is smooth and mostly brown and yellow with some red along one side. There is a small circular red mark and a sail-shaped gray discoloration in the center of the stone. Only a couple of knap marks are visible along one edge of the top face.
41	00.30.171AV	Flake	Long white rectangular shaped flake. The bottom face is smooth and flat except for a few "ripples" in the stone at one side. The color is white with a few gray specks in it. The bottom half of the top face has the same smooth white and gray specked coloring with some rippling in the middle of it. The upper half, however, is a more textured pinkish white color. Knap marks are visible on the top face at the right side and reveal the whiter color of stone, making it appear that the pinker color is the unworked stone. The right edge also has the pink unworked stone. The bottom and top edges are thin, uneven, and sharp. The left edge is smooth with one small ridge at the bottom of the edge. All points are sharp and pointy.
42	00.30.171AW	Scraper	Stone with indentations consistent with use as a scraper. The top face is reddish maroon in color with some light red and gray patterning. Uneven in shape, but has relatively smooth topography. The half of the bottom face by the scraping edge is unworked, brown, bumpy stone. The other half is deep red in color with some light red and gray patterning in it. Evidence of knapping on this portion of the stone, plus on the top face. The scraping edge is thin and moderately sharp. The bottom edge is the flat, unworked stone. The right side and top edges are thin and sharp.
43	00.30.171AX	Flake	Rounded base of a fractured stone. The rounded edges are mildly serrated and thinned but not sharp. The fractured edge is uneven, not smoothed. The two points at either end of the fractured edge are pointy and moderately sharp. All surfaces are different shades of gray with some white specks and veins. Knap marks on both faces. The top face is more bumpy due to knapping than the bottom. The bottom face is smoother than the top and has a depression along the right side just before a ridge that makes up the right edge.
44	00.30.171AY	Flake	Pink and gray square-shaped flake. One side is pink and the other is gray.
45	00.30.171AZ	Flake	Multilayered and colored piece. Pink is at the top of the object, middle is beige with brown horizontal lines, bottom is a solid red/brown line.
46	00.30.171B	Chip	Flint arrowhead that has been fractured horizontally in the middle of object so the top half is gone. Only the stem, neck, and a small portion of the blade remain. There are two side notches that lead to a thinned straight edge bottom. White color can be seen in the layers of the brown stone. Object is knapped and fractured edge is smoothed.
47	00.30.171C	Chip	Stone projectile point that has fractured horizontally across the middle. The outer layer of the stone is beige and gray but inside the stone is deep red. The top fractured edge is smooth and has more red and blue color than the main portion of the projectile point. One of the corner notches is present. The other is broken off. All edges (except the fractured one) are thin, sharp, and only mildly serrated.
48	00.30.171D	Projectile Point	Triangular shaped flint projectile point that is fractured horizontally. The fractured edge is flat and smooth. The two knapped edges are serrated and thin but not especially sharp. The point is thin but not very sharp. Both faces are knapped with a few beige marks in the stone itself on both sides.
49	00.30.171E	Projectile Point	Flint projectile point that is fractured horizontally but at an angle. The fractured edge is smooth. The other edges are serrated and thin. The point is rounded but thin. Beige specks in the stone are visible on both sides of the stone. Knap marks are visible on all sides.
50	00.30.171F	Chip	Broken brown flint arrowhead. Fractured horizontally in the middle. Slight notches and a concaved base. Object has been knapped so light brown can be seen in the inner layers. The edges are thin but not sharp and mildly serrated. The top fractured edge is smooth.
