The item search helps you look through the thousands of items on the RRN and find exactly what you’re after. We’ve split the search into two parts, Results, and Search Filters. You’re in the results section right now. You can still perform “Quick searches” from the menu bar, but if you’re new to the RRN, click the Search tab above and use the exploratory search.

small roughly flaked stemmed projectile point, fashioned on flake of grey basalt; excurvate lateral edges, rounded shoulders, short, tapering stem, slightly excurvate base; biconvex cross-section; sides of stem ground, base possibly ground
roughly flaked leaf-shaped biface, fashioned on flake of grey-green fine grained basalt; one straight, one excurvate lateral edge; thick biconvex cross-section
lanceolate projectile point, slightly stemmed, fashioned on a basalt flake; steeply retouched lateral edges; base is unmodified original cobble cortex; slightly tapering stem below poorly developed shoulders; biconvex cross-section
lanceolate projectile point, possibly side-notched, fashioned on a slab of basalt; roughly flaked along margins; indentation above base on one lateral edge may represent side notch; slight indentation on opposite edge; slightly keeled on obverse face, flat (natural) surface on reverse face; approximately plano-convex cross-section
small circular mortar or bowl fashioned from a round, flat pebble; circular depression (4.83 x 4.6 cm x approx. 0.79 cm deep), pecked into one face; darkly stained relative to sides of artifact; some pitting on underside of artifact; found with a linear cobble (not catalogued), that did not appear to be artifactual
very large basalt secondary flake; some cortex present on dorsal surface; slight possibility of retouch and wear polish on distal edge at junction with left lateral edge, but probably unintentional edge damage
retouched tool fashioned from bottle glass; transparent colourless glass bottle base, steeply retouched along edges, probably for use as a scraper; embossed "6" (or "9") on base, enclosed by portion of embossed Owens-type pontil; no amethyst (purple) or selenium (yellow) tint to glass; age of artifact bracketed by Owens ring (ca. 1903-1920s), and lack of tinting of glass (post-1917-ca. early 1920s); acquired by SRRM in modern grey cloth drawstring pouch containing loose tobacco
small core of grey-black chert (?); one striking platform; raw material may be "vitrophyre" - porphyritic igneous rock with glassy groundmass
retouched utilized tool made on large secondary flake of opaque light green chert or rhyolite; rt lat edge ventral utilization (concave edge); proximal dorsal retouch (possibly from biface reduction), lft lat edge ventral utilization
lanceolate (leaf-shaped) projectile point, fashioned from basalt; excurvate lateral edges, widest below midpoint; pointed base; biconvex cross-section; no indication of basal grinding; some post-depositional edge damage
