Figure 6-6. Projectile Point weights and lengths (when not broken) by material type for Block 1 and adjacent high puna areas of Blocks 4 and 5. Series 5 projectile point types excluded.

Relatively few Archaic Period projectile points were identified in the Block 1 area. The obsidian points that were found in Block 1 are, unsurprisingly, relatively large and nearly all are incompletely flaked. This is consistent with the relative paucity of obsidian points among the Series 1-4 projectile points overall where Series 1-4 obsidian points were only 25% by count of all the obsidian points as shown in Table 6-14. This pattern is even more pronounced when one considers that Series 1-4 point styles were used for over 7000 years while the Series 5 types were used for only 4800 years, or 7/10 as long. Furthermore, as was discussed above, many of these Series 1-4 obsidian points were Ob2 material which further reduces the probability that they were procured in the Block 1 Maymeja area.
