Abstract
A set of fourteen isolated surface lithic artifacts, turned over with locational information by a private hiking party, contains diagnostic points evidencing canyon occupation from the Early Archaic to as late as the Pueblo II/III formative period. Limited as the small set is, it appears to contain useful research potential. In particular, the various stone materials offer clues to regional procurement and exchange patterns, as well as the use of heat treatment in preparing material for flaking. Apparent Basketmaker II material may contribute to an examination of the northern reach of early agricultural adaptation and its relation to Late Archaic and Proto-Fremont occupations to the north and west of the Dark Canyon and Cedar Mesa region.
