Materials
The materials recovered from 38FA608 (2015-2018) have only undergone basic processing and cataloging as of January 2020: no comprehensive analysis has been performed on any part of the assemblage.
Initial classification of the materials from 38FA608 has been primarily organizational in nature rather than analytical. Recovered items have been separated into one of five classes: bone, ceramic, glass, lithic, metal, and other. Lithic artifacts (both chipped stone and fire-cracked rock) dominate the 38FA608 assemblage.
The hafted bifaces comprising a primary means of understanding the sequence of cultural deposits at the site are shown on this page. The ceramic assemblage is very briefly described.
The keys used for cataloging lithic and ceramic items are shown below.

The catalog of materials from 38FA608 was combined with the FS log within a Microsoft Access database. A current catalog of the materials will be provided as a companion to this document. Note that detailed analysis of the materials from 38FA608 in the future will certainly result in changes to the catalog as errors are corrected and the classification scheme is altered or elaborated.
