[Various (1967)] 33); a large quartzite spall chopping or pounding tool (fig. 35); an ovate tool of the form usually called a chopper, in actuality probably a hide scraper (fig. 32); and 1 ovate knife (fig. 34). The predominant material used in chipped stone artifacts was blue-gray to black scoriaceous Fort Ann flint (58 items, or 58% of the total). Gray Normanskill flint (11 artifacts, 11%), a speckled black flint, one source of which is known in outcrops of Little 20 THE BULLETIN PLATE 2. PICKLE HILL SITE ARTIFACTS No. 39, March 1967 21 Falls Dolomite on South Long Island in Lake George (9, 9 %), gray mottled Onondaga chert (4, 4%), quartz (10, 10%), black Kalkberg flint (3, 3%), quartzite (2, 2%), red slate and Deepkill flint (1 each, totaling 2%) were employed in manufacture of the remainder. With regard to rough and polished stone, the pestle and abrading stones are of graywacke; the anvil- hammerstone and chopper of quartzite; 2 pebble hammerstones of quartzite and 1 of Fort Ann flint; and the shallow-lipped gouge of porphyritic basalt. Most of these materials were available within a radius of 15 miles from the site. No bone artifacts or animal food remains have survived in the acid soil (pH 5.75). The site has many artifact correspondences to the River site on the Hudson River near Cohoes (Ritchie 1958: 34-53) and the Bent site near Schenectady in the Mohawk Valley (Ritchie 1965: 124-131) which are the type stations of the River phase.
