Chaco Forms

From Bc 51 (floor of kiva 2) came a single rectangular arrow-shaft-straightener
of Type IIa. Three other stone objects had
grooves which might have been used in smoothing arrow shafts, or
in grinding bone points or beads. One had a single groove; one had
two grooves; and one had 15 parallel grooves on a flat surface 10″ long.

Extraordinarily few arrow-shaft tools have been reported from
sites of Chaco type or affinities. Forms Ia and Ib occur, a single
specimen of the former,[142] six specimens of the latter[143] which may
tentatively be taken as typical.

Dutton, 1938, Pl. VIII-A, one specimen of Type Ib.

Pepper, 1920, p. 92 and Fig. 17b, one specimen of Type Ib; in addition, "an
arrow-smoother, made of coarse-grained sandstone of light color, and another grinding
stone of the same material having large grooves on the side" (p. 92) are referred to
but since they are not illustrated or further described typological determination is
impossible.

Roberts, 1932, p. 142 and Pl. 53 c, d, e, and f, four specimens of Type Ib.
