Crater Lake surface finds:
The very scant artifact record of Indian use of the Park region has been found within the area along the rim between Lightning Spring and Discovery Point east to Garfield Peak and in Munsen Valley south to Godfrey Glen, with one exception. Ten chipped stone artifacts have been found since 1931. Four were found along the rim from Discovery Point to Garfield Peak, one on Mt. Scott near the Lookout, two at Park Headquarters, and three in Godfrey Glen. The specimens are described below in their Crater Iake National Park (CLNP) accession number sequence; they are stored at Park Headquarters (Fig 1).
