Abstract
Morse describes the various artifacts found at the Sloan site, the various types of cherts and the locations of the chert sources used to make the stone tools. The archaeologists found stone tools, points, one ironstone object, some ochre stains, but no debitage. Photographs of the artifacts are provided along with measurement tables. The intrusive artifacts dating to the Holocene are also briefly described but were not indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) categories.
