Abstract
This is a report on the stone artifacts from Cerros. Three general tool classes are represented. They are bifacial worked tools (e.g., celts, knives, chisels, adzes), plano-convex tools (e.g., daggers, borers, scrappers), and small flake and blade tools. Most of the artifacts are made from chert (four percent are made from obsidian.) Mitchum describes each type in detail.
