~. <br />I.F. 310 <br />A nonwtilized flake of chert along with a ehert scraping tool <br />were recorded as. isolated find 310. These iteas were located about <br />120 meters south of I.P. 309, near the southeastern corner of the sur- <br />vey area. The nonutilized flake is maaufacrured from light can chert, <br />with heavy white patination and some cortex on one face of the flake. <br />The measurements are 18.3 mm. for the length, 15.4 mm. for the width <br />tad 5.4 mm. for the cross-sectional thickness. The scraper vas obser- <br />ved about 15 meters west of this flake in a narrow drainage cut. This <br />tool measures 42.5 m, in length, 39.3 mm. is width and 8.1 mm. in thick- <br />ness. Two portions:of che_artifacts''edge have bees b L`aciallq retouche3 <br />and most of the reeataiag edge has been uaifacialiy retouched. The ua <br />• iacia?ly retouched edges have relatively steep edge angles and ex:.i3i: <br />some microscopic ev±deace ai utilization. Edge da:aga is also micro- <br />scopicaL'y evident oa the b L-"acial'_y retouched portions of t5e tool <br />edge, but it is not clear whether this is deliberate utilizat_on or <br />whether it is t`:e result of f'_ake removal and/or platfora preparation. <br />This art+~act is genPra~y subtriaagular in outline and piano-corves is <br />cross section. <br />Both the iia;se and the tool were :o~:ad ca t'.:e scut: side c' s -ii=e <br />composed of grey-brow sandy loan soil interspersed with small graves. <br />Some linestcae occ::rs natural'_y'ia this portion of the survey area, but <br />the dominant lithic materials on the surface are metamorphosed shale <br />out-croppings. Vegetation at the site includes rabbitbrush, sage, <br />phlox, barrel cactus, and various grasses. <br />• <br />
