Cultural Period: Archaic/Ancestral Puebloan Description: This drill was knapped into the end of a chert Elko Corner-notched/San Pedro projectile point. This point style has a vast age range, but is typically considered Middle to Late Archaic. However, the drill could have been fashioned on an older point, so dating this particular artifact without contextual information, such as site location and stratigraphic positioning, would be very difficult, if not impossible. Dimensions: 1 3/8 L x 13/16 W x 3/16 T (inches). Collection: On display at Navajo National Monument (Catalog No. 35). - Drill Bound with Yucca, Detail

View with Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) Description: Cottonwood or Bull Creek projectile point from Tusayan Ruin (left: original; right: enhanced with RTI). Dimensions: Unknown. Collection: Grand Canyon National Park (Catalog No. GRCA 15432). - Cortaro Point
Cultural Period: Ancestral Puebloan, Atsinna Pueblo (A.D. 1275 – mid-1300s) Description: Triangular flaked stone artifact with a concave base made from a medium to fine-grained volcanic material. Although previously identified as a knife, Ashlee Bailey, Northern Arizona University graduate student in Anthropology, suggests this artifact is stylistically very similar to a Cortaro projectile point. If this is the case, it is likely that a resident of Atsinna collected the point from elsewhere, as Cortaro points date between 4300 BP and 2300 B.P., substantially earlier than the occupation of Atsinna Pueblo. Dimensions: L 6.5, W 3.7, T 0.9 CM. Provenience: LA 99 (Atsinna Pueblo), Room 17, Fill. Collection: National Park Service, El Morro. - Corner-notched Projectile Point

Dimensions: L 4.0, W 2.0 CM. Provenience: LA 99 (Atsinna Pueblo), RM 1-S, W Cache. Collection: National Park Service, El Morro.
