-29- <br />first note that there is a general decrease in point size from early to <br />late prehistoric times, a generalization that can be applied to most of the <br />United States. The change in point size is a consequence of changes in " <br />the form of the projectile of which the point was a part, from spear to <br />atlatl dart to arrow. Other changes in hafting techniques produced various <br />basal modifications. <br />In southern Wyoming, Frison, et. al (1974:123) see several clear <br />temporal trends occuring. Fluted and lanceolate points of the Llano, <br />Folsom and Plano traditions mark a horizon in the 11,500 - 7,000 B.P. time <br />range. No projectile point styles are defined for the period from 7,000 to <br />5,000 B.P. The McKean Complex, characterized in southern Wyoming by the <br />large, side-notched and basally indented Mallory Point occurs from about <br />5,000 to 3,000 B.P. From about 3,000 to 1,000 B.P. barbed, corner-notched <br />points predominate, with small side-notched projectile points characterizing <br />the period after 1,000 B.P. <br />An examination of the projectile points collected during the present <br />investigation with respect to the chronology described above provides some <br />general but little specific information concerning the sequence of prehis- <br />toric events in the study area. Two points found at SME416 (Figure 6a,b) • <br />correspond generally with point types of the 5,000 to 3,000 B.P. McKean complex <br />as does the side-notched point found at SME432 (Figure 7). Fragmentary, <br />relatively large corner-notched points found at sites SME401 (Figure 8a,b), <br />SME408 (Figure 9e), SMF434 (Figure l0a,b,d) and SME468 (Figure lla,b) are simi- <br />lar to descriptions of the characteristic corner-notched points of the 3,000 <br />to 1,000 B.P. horizon. The corner-notched point in the SME408 collection, <br />however, occurs in association with a small, triangular arrow point (Figure 9a) <br />characteristic of a later horizon and the previously mentioned Mesa Verde White. <br />Ware, also a late characteristic. Sma11 side-notched points generally re- <br />sembling those of the horizon after 1,000 B.P. were also found at SMF416 (Figure. <br />12a), SME419 (Figure 13), SME423 (Figure 14b) and SME460 (Figure 15). A <br />crudely side-notched scraper from SME444 (Figure 16) appears to be a projectile <br />point that was reworked into a scraper. Other projectile points included in <br />the analysis were either too amorphous or fragmentary to identify accurately. <br />In summary, it can be concluded that the st~idy area was occupied at least <br />as early as 5,000 B.P. Subsequent occupation appears to have been fairly <br />continuous with all succeeding horizons represented. It is impossible to • <br />determine from the material, however, the relative density of occupation <br />
