These tools varied from axes, toma hawks, arrowheads. digging mauls, knifes etc. The rock for making the tools was found on the property in a small wash. Dark colored Quartzite was heat treated by burying the stone under a fire. The site was ideal for a campground. The Mountain Fork River and a large stream, Mill Creek, intersects at the property.
