Analysis of projectile point types reflects occupation from Late Paleoindian up through Late Woodland, a span of over 10,000 years. This enforces the distribution areas of different ceramic types through the Woodland Tradition and Buffalo Lake’s association with these areas. Additionally, 179 ceramic rim sherds have been assessed to determine their type. Furthermore, raw material analysis was performed to provide data on socio-economic connections between Buffalo Lake and other regions outside its vicinity. Analysis was performed on 258 projectile points to determine point types and associate cultural time periods. The purpose of this thesis is to further define the cultural history of occupation at Buffalo Lake. This research comprises the analysis of artifacts recovered during archaeological investigations at Buffalo Lake in 19 at Kratz Creek (47MQ0039), Neale (47MQ0049), and McClaughry (47MQ0042) mound group sites.
