Bone tools were of common occurrence in the general midden of the site
and were also associated with house patterns 1 and 3. Six deer ulna awls
and three ulna awls from small animals (Fig. 25;1); ten splinter awls
(Fig. 25;4) and a single fish fin awl; a deer cannon bone beamer (Fig.
25;2) and a deer scapula hoe (Fig. 25;3) make up most of the inventory
of bone tools. One deer mandible appeared to have been utilized since a
dull work polish is noticeable on it. The teeth are fractured on one
side as if broken off in the course of use.
Bone beads were found associated with house patterns and were made from
bird bones (Fig. 26;1 bottom). One measured 1.5 cm. and another 1.3 ×
1.5 cm. and a third .8 × 2.6 cm. A large bird bone had been in the
process of bead manufacture (Fig. 26;1, top). The bone had been cut at
each end then circled in two places with cuts that hadn’t been
completed.
Antler tips were utilized for various purposes. Specimens included two
barbed projectile points and one unfinished tip with a drilled base.
Twelve other tips were probably flaking tools.
