The Squaw Rockshelter site (33CU34), located along a tertiary tributary to Lake Erie in Northeast Ohio, contained stratified sealed deposits. A small remnant dated 9240±160 B.P., yielded fragments of a human skeleton, unifacial and bifacial scrapers, unstemmed lancoolate points, and a corner-removed indented-based point. Additional lanceolate and bifurcate-base points have been recovered eroded from this site. The early Archaie lithic assemblage included both Plano projectile points of the Great Lakes region and corner-notched types of the Southern Appalachians. This site has provided evidence on the relationships of these point styles and the early Holocene cultural complexes from the lower Great Lakes region.
