Abstract

Flannery describes modified and/or utilized antler artifacts from Guilá Naquitz Cave. All five may not have been used as tools, but those that were probably served as pressure flakers for chipped stone tool manufacture. Only the three artifacts from stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic.
