Abstract
The Lizzie Hill site (41CP494) is one of a number of archaeological sites that Robert L. Turner, Jr. surface collected from in Camp County, Texas in the 1950s and 1960s. Bo Nelson and Turner formally recorded the site in July 2012. The analysis of the surface collection of ceramic and lithic artifacts from the site, as well as a few historic artifacts, is the subject of this article. The site was located in a cultivated field when Turner found it and gathered his collection of artifacts, but now is in pasture, along a small tributary to Walkers Creek in the Big Cypress Creek basin. The site is estimated to cover a ca. 160 x 80 m area (ca. 3 acres) on an upland slope (360-380 ft. amsl).

By the Late Archaic, the use of non-local lithic raw materials had diminished considerably, and only about 12 of the dart points in this period are made from non-local raw materials, cherts
