Abstract
Dalley describes the worked wood and reed artifacts. The definition of worked is any specimen that shows 'signs of cutting, peeling, smoothing, pointing, or shaping.' (page 153). The items include atlatl fragments , foreshafts and mainshaft fragments, knife handles, throwing sticks, snares, digging sticks, gaming pieces, awls, netting tools, fire drills, and a bull-roarer. Some of the species of plants used to make these artifacts may have been transported to the cave and may not have grown nearby. The items from this cave are compared to other wooden artifacts found within the Great Basin. Only the data that pertain to Unit I are marked for Outline of Cultural Material (OCM) codes.
