Abstract
Etzanoa, 14CO3, is an excavated site in Cowley County, located between the Walnut and Arkansas rivers. The site is associated with Great Bend Aspect and ancestorial Wichita tribes, and is currently assumed to be a habitation sight, rather than a hunting camp or kill sight. This research is aimed at looking into the use of bone tools within the context of habitation sights, utilizing the excavated materials found between the 2017 and 2019 excavation seasons, looking into the preferences in bone type specimen type for tool use. As well as gaining better insight into the degree of variation within the type of bones being used. Analysis of typable bone tools can provide better insight into the lifeways of ancestorial Wichita peoples, and the types of activities being done at these sites. Typable bone tools can tell us about the different forms of utilization of faunal resources, and the preferences for bone type. This is a preliminary study, in which the necessary research is still in the process of being conducted.
