There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in chopping stone. There is 1 artifact (3.1%) used in cutting or sawing unidentified material. There is 1 artifact (3.1%) used in whittling unidentified material. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in grooving unidentified material. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in whittling or scraping unidentified material. There is 0 artifact (0%) used in an unidentified action. Total of independent use zones (IUZ): 32 (100.0%). The quotation marks around "Montana" and "Algodonal" indicate that these variables are alphanumeric and "" indicates the absence of data.
The last (56th) line is:
