This project examines the ground stone tools from the West Mound, an artifact type that holds much potential but has been historically understudied in archaeology. For this research, I studied 774 ground stone objects recovered from various West Mound contexts with an emphasis on Trench 5, the most extensive excavation area on the mound. In this dissertation, I present petrographic analysis of the raw materials used for ground stone manufacture and a typology developed to categorize types of tools. I conducted a variety of distribution analyses to explore the interactions between rock types and tool types. I propose potential explanations for the differential usage of andesites and basalts and the differential fragmentation patterns for grinding slabs and grinding handstones.
