Description of the Artifacts
A total of 610 artifacts was recovered from the Harroun Site, consisting of ceramics, chipped stone implements, and a few milling stones and pitted stones. The first step in ordering the artifacts was to lump them all together in one heap. Then they were separated into general groups such as pottery, dart points, arrow points, scrapers, pitted stones, etc. Next, each group was further divided and subdivided into as many categories as seemed warranted until a number of small groups resulted, each containing a series of individual specimens with similar basic characteristics.[1] Finally, each of the small groups was compared to similar material from other sites and identified with specific types wherever possible.
The artifacts are described below by groups. Provenience of the groups and types within the site is discussed in the succeeding section.
