However, experimental and archaeological data involving projectile point rejuvenation and breakage suggest the site served also as a deer kill location. Furthermore, the site assemblage, dominated by projectile point rejuvenation debitage and fragments of lanceolate, dart, and arrow points, is interpreted as representing a multiple weapons system technology utilized in a communal hunting situation.Read More
