Abstract

The Rummells-Maske site, 13CD15, is a fluted point cache discovered in 1964 by two amateur archaeologists. It is one of the few finished fluted point caches in North America. It was originally interpreted as a cache, but because the site was reported as a "findspot" in the original report title, it has not received the attention it deserved in Paleo indian literature. In this paper, we review the history of the discovery, describe the Rummells-Maske assemblage, and reassess the typological affinities of the points from the perspective of research on the Early Paleoindian period conducted across North American since the 1972 publication. Our analyses indicate that Rummells-Maske represents a fluted point cache closely affiliated with the Gainey complex.
