This report contains the description of artifacts recovered from these sites 4-SBr-4963, 4-SBr-4965, 4-SBr-4966, 4-SBr-4967, 4- SBr-4968, 4-SBr-4949 and 4-SBr-5267 followed by an analysis of use wear, assemblage composition, chronology, subsistence, and settlement patterns directed toward understanding early Holocene cultural adaptation in the Mojave Desert. A typological key for identifying Lake Mojave and Pinto points is proposed and evidence presented of a Lake Mojave-Pinto cultural continuum.
