- This site consists of two biface fragments; two unifacially retouched blade-like flakes; and at least six microblades. In addition, there are over 100 flakes of black chert with bluish-white inclusions. One particularly impressive microblade midsection, roughly 2.5 centimeters long, is made of swirled white-tan chert. Identified by E. Hill as a small/medium mammal bone. The bone is burned/calcined and partially mineralized. Axis=13mm. Weight=.61 grams. Sample was destroyed in C14 analysis.
