A total of 610 artifacts was recovered from the Harroun Site, consisting
of ceramics, chipped stone implements, and a few milling stones and
pitted stones. The first step in ordering the artifacts was to lump them
all together in one heap. Then they were separated into general groups
such as pottery, dart points, arrow points, scrapers, pitted stones,
etc. Next, each group was further divided and subdivided into as many
categories as seemed warranted until a number of small groups resulted,
each containing a series of individual specimens with similar basic
characteristics.[1] Finally, each of the small groups was compared to
similar material from other sites and identified with specific types
wherever possible.
The artifacts are described below by groups. Provenience of the groups
and types within the site is discussed in the succeeding section.
