Abstract
From various locations in southern Ontario, the author obtained lithic raw materials that had been used to make points from the Paleo-Indian through the Late Archaic periods. Lithic materials from sources were examined using visual criteria and x-ray mineralogical analysis. Results were compared to archaeological samples to determine the raw material sources used and their locations relative to the archaeological sites.
