Eight
projectile points were recovered in the excavations.
These vary in shape and have been divide into three
types. Type 1
are small triangular shaped side notched points, Type 2 and
small triangular shaped corner notched points, and Type 3
are small un-notched points.
These were found at a variety of Levels: Level 1 (n=1),
Level 4 (n=2), Level
5/6 (n=1), Level 6 (n=2), Level 11 (n=1) and surface
(n=1). These are described below:
