Peotone: The Collections
The Hupe Collection
Found within the bounds of Section 20 are the tools, fragments of tools, and debitage shown in the two scans above.

From this assemblage of misc. broken points and damaged tools, one can see a strong representation of Paleo and Early Archaic period tool forms. One might also understand that rough-worn tools are often so worn in one setting, rahter than carried about by a person everywhere he traveled.

In so many words, one can suppose that the camps were so used for more than brief stay-overs. The extensive assmeblages of debitage and discarded broken tools also protray a more steadily occupied series of camps within this Morainal Region.
