We know of 104 incised stones collected from the Gault Site between 1929 and 2007 from various proveniences and contexts ranging from Early Paleoindian (ca. 13,000-9000 cal. BP) to Archaic (ca. 9000- 2000 cal. BP) and perhaps Late Prehistoric (1200-600 cal. BP). The stones share affinity with incised and painted stones worldwide in traditions dating back at least 90,000 years. Wherever these objects are produced, the end product does not seem to have retained its importance, and, in fact, the process of manufacture and the patterns employed may have been more important than the decorated object after its initial use.
