Abstract

A collection of artifacts found in the lip of a terrace of the Blanchard River in northwestern Ohio comes from 17 presumably ancient sites which had not been used by peoples of Archaic and later stages of culture development. The artifacts are made of fine-grained cherty rock which is not known to occur in the region. The tools consist of fluted and other kinds of points, a wide variety of scrapers, “utilized flakes” with sheared edges or edges made by a high quality pressure retouch, gravers, burinlike tools, and other specialized artifacts. It is suggested that these may represent an occupation of the region by pre-Archaic stage peoples.
