High-quality Cumberland and Fort Payne cherts outcrop on nearby ridgetops. Nodules of these cherts also occur in the Crow Creek stream bed. During foraging trips, site residents would have returned to camp with nodules of these cherts, perhaps on a daily basis. Flintknappers then would have shaped these nodules into blanks. Because blanks are easier to carry than chert nodules, residents likely further shaped the blanks into spearpoints at another campsite. Investigators recovered a large amount of debris produced by blank preparation.
Only a small amount of other kinds of chipped stone tools were recovered from the site. But based on the types of tools found, archaeologists determined that during the Native peoples' visits to the site, families would have hunted wild game, such as deer and elk, and collected freshwater mussels. To process the deer and elk skins, residents would have used endscrapers. They would have used awls to punch holes in the skins.
