Abstract	:	The primary purpose of this article is to present new data regarding igneous toolstone use patterns and lithic reduction/production practices as evidenced by a recently recovered sample of Great Basin Stemmed projectile points, in order to improve our understanding of the basic Terminal Pleistocene/Early Holocene settlement systems associated with the central Great Salt Lake Desert. Great Basin Paleoarchaic settlement and subsistence practices, as well as temporal affiliations of different stemmed point styles, are poorly understood. For the most part, this situation results from a dearth of excavated cultural deposits and a poorly defined projectile point tradition.
