Between 16" and 21", however, was 1 sherd (11034) which is finer and thinner than the others and greatly resembles puebloan pit-lodge pottery. 1 sherd (11044) from between 29" and 31" deep somewhat resembles puebloan v/are, but is blacker, rougher, and tempered with some mica. The occurrence of these sherds at greater depths in trench B than in trench A has no great signifi- cance, however, for trench A was much better stratified. And the resemblance of certain sherds to puebloan ware may be simply fortuitous variants from the standard cave ware. Knives and scrap- EKS.—30 specimens of hiiives and scrap- ers were obtained from the Black Rock Cave. Materials used include flint, obsidian, and a dis- tinctive kind of (juartzite. The only observ- able stratification of these is a preponder- ance of beautifully worked leaf-shaped jioints or knives in the latest culture, above 19" deep. The leaf-shaped blades resemble the knives associated with the pot- tery culture in the Promontory caves, except that their butts are rounded rather than straight. One of these, 11072 (fig. 46, a), was found with a burial in the back part of the cave, associated with a side-notched arrow point which marks it as belonging to the pottery culture. It is 41/2" long, %" to %^" thick, and is excellently worked of gray, streaked flint. Another (11025, fig. 46, h) came from trench B between the surface and 4" deep. It is well shaped of brownish flint and is 234'' long, i/4" thick. The butt is rounded, like 11072, but is distinctly vrorii on one Figure 46.—Stone knives and scrapers from Black Rock Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the or
