5,000-year-old tools from Crawford County. Chipped-stone tools
from the Crow Hollow site These five tools are from the Crow
Hollow site, a rare, Middle Archaic campsite located along the
Kickapoo River in Crawford County. They were made and used about
5,000 years ago. Over 2,000 artifacts were recovered during
recent excavations there, including projectile points and
bifaces, scrapers, graver, and chipping debris produced during
the manufacture and resharpening of chipped-stone tools. Two
grinding or milling stones were also found. Society
archaeologists also encountered several storage or refuse pits
and possible areas of special activity, reflecting the daily
activities of cooking food, animal hide preparation, and making
and repairing stone tools. For more information about Crow
