Chipped Stone A variety of different kinds of stone was used as the raw material for the manufacture of the chipped-stone artifacts. Some are common in the vicinity of the Dodd site, others appear to have been imported. ARROW POINTS {138 specimens) The small, light, pressure-flaked projectile points in the Dodd site collection were almost certainly hafted to arrows. Five basic styles are represented, along with the inevitable scattering of deviants. Group 1 (fig. 23); 25 specimens. Side-notched, straight-sided triangular, maximum width at base, straight base; slightly concave or convex bases occur rarely. The notches are at right angles to the long axis, and are often very narrow. Length: Mean 26 mm., range 20 to 30 mm. Width: Mean 14 mm., range 10 to 17 mm. Weight: Mean gm., range to q r s T u V w X Figure 23.—Arrow points, Dodd site, a-d. Group .1; e-h, Group 2; i-l, Group 4; m-p, Group 5; q-t, Group 3; u-x, miscellaneous. 280460—54 5.
