The use of Table Rock Reservoir projectile points in the delineation of cultural complexes and their distribution

Abstract

"The projectile points and other stone artifacts from Table Rock Reservoir were described in categories by the writer for a section of 'Preliminary Salvage Archaeology in the Table Rock Reservoir Area, Missouri' (Champman, Bray and Marshall, 1955, MS). The descriptive categorization in that report has been revised and has been included in this study. A more precise statement of the problems investigated is as follows: 1. To devise descriptive categories of projectile points from Table Rock Reservoir. 2. To classify certain groups of projectile points from Table Rock Reservoir as types through their repeated association in specific cultural complexes. 3. To plot the distribution of components of the cultural complexes in Table Rock Reservoir. 4. To delimit the range of the region by the spread of the cultural complexes, found it. "--Page 7-8
