AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Ellis, Wortner, and Fox describe and analyze the material from the Nettling site in southern Ontario. The site has been intensively surface collected from the late 1950s to the late 1970s. And excavations occurred in 1967 and 1979. The lithic assemblage from the site is large, but homogeneous in the types of tools found and the types of stone used, including a large percentage of Ohio cherts which seem to indicate a wide annual range. Except for manos and mortars (or plant processing tools) and the relatively high number of tubular weights, Nettling duplicates the assemblages found in the southeast United States.
