A. The small size is indicative of bow and arrow technology in the Late Harder Phase.10-15 mm for darts points larger than 8 mm are 1) intrusives, 2) lanceolates. shorter and narrower) and made with finer retouch than points at Wawawai (45WT39) neck widths are 3-8 mm vs. Points at Wexpusnime are smaller (i.e.There is no hafting residue visible on any points.The obsidian may have been obtained as raw material from eastern Oregon or western Idaho, but was possibly recycled from other sites. Two percent are basalt, also probably local. All are locally available within about 20 miles. Ninety-seven percent of all points are CCS, especially chalcedony, jasper, and opal.These include intrusive Cascade points (made of basalt with calcareous residue – as noted by Leonhardy et al. Stemmed points are the most diverse type, with five varieties.Obsidian and basalt are only found among corner-notched points.These varieties, especially corner-notched, are the standard, non-intrusive, late prehistoric points. Base-notched, corner-notched and small side-notched points are made of cryptocrystalline silicates (CCS).Some older varieties may have been “recycled” – i.e.Additional types include large side-notched, stemmed, side-and-base-notched, small irregular, and lanceolate points. Most points are base-notched, corner-notched and small side-notched. There are 317 classifiable projectile points and 311 projectile point fragments in 8 groups.Examples of type variation are would include shape of the projectile point base and orientation of the artifact’s margin. The third level consists of type variation, which is based on secondary characteristics. Examples of type designation are side- or corner-notched projectile points. The second level is type designation, which is based on major form and size differences within each artifact class. Examples of artifact classes are projectile points, scrapers, and awls. Items of similar form and shared function belong to the same class. The first level of classification within a category is artifact class. The artifact categories are stone tools, bone tools, antler tools, organics, and ‘other,’ which includes mineral pigments, ceramics, and historic materials. The most recent and detailed classification scheme employs three levels of analysis. Classification and curatorial work by Collins and Andrefsky ( 1995) prepared the collection for efficient future analysis and description. Data associated with the earliest two original classifications were lost well before the late 1990s due to technological obsolescence of the recording system used. Nakonechny’s ( 1998) thesis represents the fourth classification of artifacts from Wexpusnime.
