Tiny stone tools such as these, found scattered in the gravel around tent camps, were used to tip the weapons and tools of the Independence I people. Clockwise from the upper left are two triangular endblades for harpoons; a tanged arrow point; an endscraper for working hides; two burin spalls, which may have been used as miniature engraving tools; and two burins used in working bone or other hard organic materials. The scale of these objects is indicated by the Canadian dime (seventeen millimetres in diameter).
