"Increasingly diverse food resources required the Archaic people to make a much more diverse tool kit," Knick says. Just among stone tools, these native inhabitants were using spear points, a smaller dart point, choppers, scrapers, axes, adzes, grinding stones, nutting stones, borers and drills, Knick says.
