<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Seven hundred years ago a hunter stashed, and failed to retrieve, a bag of 101 projectile points, preforms, and other tools in a cave in Nevada. Fifty years ago, relic collectors found the bag and sold it to a museum. Today, a technological study of the artifacts reveals how the hunter manufactured, organized, and used his projectile point ammunition. The artifacts provide a rare glimpse of the working ammunition system of a mobile hunter-flint knapper in the prehistoric western Great Basin.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
