[Various (1967)] A very similar range in projectile point forms, the majority being of Normanskill type, is evident in the components at all three sites. The retouched flake scrapers at Pickle Hill have not been found on other sites of the River complex. The anvil-hammerstone with its fan-shaped radial scars, perhaps employed in flint-knapping, is identical with specimens from the River and Bent sites. This trait is a River phase diagnostic. Bannerstones, very common on the Mohawk and Hudson Valley components, seem to be absent at Pickle Hill. Conceivably, such items may have been picked off the site in years past; their number was probably quite small. The small, stemmed crescentic knife, not previously reported for the complex, seems to be unique in eastern New York. The other artifacts-whetstones, choppers, pestle, gouge hammerstones, and ovate knives-are present in the Bent and River site inventories. Besides the bannerstone or atlatl weight, other straits recorded at the Bent and/or River sites, but lacking at Pickle Hill, include effigy pestles, adzes or celts, and pitted stones. Pickle Hill also seems to have shared in the postulated subsistence pattern of the River phase. The large stone features at Pickle Hill are duplicated at the Bent site. Carbonized acorn cotyledons from features at both sites may signify that acorns were roasted on such features to remove tannic acid (Ritchie 1965:128). The majority of artifacts on all River stations pertain to hunting activities.
