Profile of excavation at 41SP153 on north shore of Nueces Bay, showing three discrete shell strata within cumulic silty soil. Only a scant amount of chert debitage and a chert core were found in Stratum 3 representing the Early Archaic. Little is known about this period based on coastal sites.  (Graphic by Robert Ricklis (in Perttula 2004: Fig.5.3).
