- Title
THE CEDAR DRAW CACHE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ROCK CREEK CACHE.
- Authors
Kohntopp, Steve
- Abstract
The article analyzes a cache of artifacts discovered on the banks of Cedar Draw stream near Filer, Idaho in 1993. The cache is made up of nine bifaces made of ignimbrite, a local variant of obsidian. These are described in detail, with photographs, and compared to another lithic cache found nearby along Rock Creek in 1986. Both are thought to consist largely of preforms intended for eventual fashioning into projectile points. Difficulties in dating the two caches are also discussed, as are directions for future research.
