| Here are smaller flakes and chips of quartz. Always find a couple of quartz chips when I go out. Most of them end up in this basket when I get around to it. All from the same field. |

| Examples of tools used to make holes. Top row are personal finds. 2nd row I aquired out of a South Jersey collection. Third row are midwestern. Just put them in to show how damaged points were sometimes made into drills. |

| Mostly argillite. Second in on the top row is a nice piece of jasper with a black inclusion. This 1 and 3/4 little knife or scraper has been heavily worked (flaked). The pink quarz point is almost perfect, just one little ding. The quartz piece next to it has also been worked alot and I think could be a drill or perforator of some sort. |

| Here are a few shaft smoothers I got from an older gentleman who had collected in an area that was later determined to be very significant archeologically. These tools are considered to be diagnostic of a people designated today as the Koens Krispin culture. These smoothers were used on the front and back, also on the sides. |

| The first is a knobbed adze I got out of an old collection. The second is more of a celt and was found by my grandfather. The third is a typical small adze. Each has prominent knobs or protruding nubs. |

| This is the knobbed adze in the previous picture. It has a pronounced curve, even more than this picture indicates. |
