A Formal Analysis of Lithic Materials from D1Pu7, Top of the World, British Columbia

A survey of Top of the World Provincial Park located a quarry site and numerous "workshop" areas. A formal analysis of surface-collected lithic materials from one site located is undertaken. Mush of the surface scatter at this site (D1Pu7) is the quarried material, but many lithic materials foreign to the quarry area are also present. Artifacts are grouped on the basis of position and extent of retouch and type of raw material utilized. A large variation within artifact classes necessitates individual description in many cases. Functional inferences are avoided. Sample inadequacies limit the data obtained, but all cores and most bifacial edges are of the quarried material, while most unifacial edges are of the foreign lithic material.
