This experimental research producing utilized and retouched flakes forms a data set similar to Late Woodland (250 A.D. - 1200 A.D.) artifacts found at the Evie site. These flakes formed diagnostic microwear patterns specific to flake function. Phase 1 analysis proves that when a flake of a specific material is activated in a particular direction on a specific material’s surface, a diagnostic wear pattern is formed. Phase 2 study design designates a hypothesis that microwear patterns on replica stone flake tools can be successfully compared to archeological remains. These correlations are speculative of the actions occurring on site. Phase 2 research and artifact analysis concludes that stone flake tools associated with features are pliable to wear pattern simulations on replica flakes. Microwear analysis on these artifacts has led to a speculative employment of features prehistorically on the Evie site.
