ARTIFACT KEYWORDS:
DIAGNOSTIC ARTIFACT INVENTORY (diagnostic artifacts should be plotted on site sketch map): List temporal-cultural diagnostic artifacts below.

General ages are: Paleoindian, Early, Middle, and Late Archaic, Archaic (undifferentiated); Late Prehistoric; Protohistoric; unknown age.
