Excavations at the Hart Site revealed an Early Archaic, Bifurcate Base occupation. Analysis of the lithic artifacts from this component allow for inferences concerning the organization of lithic technology at the site. Roughly forty percent of the flake debris was of non-local chert sources. A number of bifacial tools was maintained and used at the site and a staged approach to bifacial tool manufacture is indicated. Based on a high amount of use and reworking, these bifacial tools are inferred to be highly curated. Raw material percentages at the site indicate a west to east movement of people/materials
