In the Lab today washing hundreds of bags of dig content from the various levels. Most bags contain some shell, flint nappings, various amounts of bone, some pieces almost as big as the fist and, every once in awhile a arrowhead, point, or tool that was missed in the collection process. The arrowheads I find in the content bags are generally smaller than a quarter dollar. We are not sure what these small arrowheads were made for as the shafts would have been so much bigger than the heads (don't even go there mates),  it is possible they were made for juvenile bows, or as jewelry, or possibly as practice or competition as they would be very difficult to produce. Also a sizable piece of deer jaw was found deep in the site and may date back 10 to 12 thousand years, as well as a fossilized snake.
