Stone and bone tools contained in the remains of two charred baskets from an Initial Middle Missouri site, Fay Tolton, House 1, are interpreted as two different tool kits associated with different aspects of animal skin processing. Spatulate-shaped bone tools previously described as “quill flatteners” are interpreted here as skin burnishers. The ethnogra hic association of women with skin working activities suggests that these two skin working tool kits were the property of a woman of the household.Every now and then fortune smiles on the archaeologist. The recovery of the remains of two baskets and their contents during the excavation of the Fay Talton site is such an instance. Although finds of this sort are not normally part of any preconceived research design, a close examination of them in terms of what we know about human behavior from ethnographic and historical sources can add to our knowledge about past human activities (cf. Binford 1967).A brief description of the site and the material remains of the baskets and their contents is followed here by a discussion of tool kits. A definition of “tool kit” is presented to provide a basis for interpreting the contents of the baskets as having been used in a skin processing complex
