Baerreis (1968): "Artifact Descriptions: Bone, Stone and Shell," Journal of the Iowa Archeological Society, Volume 15, pages 107-191...."
"Material analysed includes over 1,500 flakes representing unmodified, utilized and retouched groups recovered from the Brewster site (13CK15), a Mill Creek component in northwestern Iowa. The study serves to establish stone categories and define flake types for the purpose of intra-site comparison and the detection of trends of potential value in inter-site studies. Major stone categories and flake types are given considerable attention and are presented graphically to show distribution within the 64 inches of deposit at the site...."
