[Herbert C. Kraft et al. (1994)] Since both limonite and hematite produce a chalky red stain when rubbed or chalky red grains when crushed, such finds may indicate a small-scale pigment production workshop. The single most striking feature of the Mulcaster Island East collection is the disparity between a significant native ceramic assemblage and a negligible lithic assemblage. Com pared to 854 sherds of native ceramics, only ten artifacts constituted the lithic assemblage, of which four are chipped stone debitage and six are ground or rough stone fragments. Repeated occupation of the site, spanning the Middle Woodland and Late Woodland periods, is apparent from the ceramic evidence. While our analysis has found evidence of a "classic" Point Peninsula occupation at this site, the bulk of the ceramics associate with a transitional Late Point Peninsula/Pickering/Owasco culture. The radiocarbon date of A.D. 1100 conforms exceptionally well to this identification. The field research discussed in this report occurred on Mulcaster Island, located approximately 8 km west of Gananoque (Figure 1). The island was first archaeologically investigated in 1978 by J.V. Wright, of the Archaeological Survey of Canada. Using a simple walkover survey strategy of accessible beaches and
