Spaulding (1949, p. Ill) has suggested that this may be evidence of an Archaic tradition that persisted in northeastern Kansas into the Middle Woodland period. There have been sporadic finds of boatstones in eastern Kansas that may have a similar early affiliation. One in the national collections (fig. 104, h) is from Labette County, and I have seen other fine speci- mens in private collections from the vicinity of Independence, Mont- gomery County, and Elgin, Chautauqua County. Their site associa- tions, other than that they were local finds, are unknown to me. Such objects have been reported also from preceramic (?) burials in McPherson and Scottsbluff Counties, Nebr.
