| Notes | Maps, chart, line drawings. Reports on projectile points recovered from a test pit of the 1936 archeological expedition to Rock Creek. Suggests possible function for the points might be that of fishing spears. Discusses evidence for this hypothesis from this and other archeological sites in the region. A number of Umpqua Basin stemless projectile points have tested positively for exposure to trout antiserum, indicating that at some time they have been in contact with fish. |
