Multivariate statistical techniques are applied to the data for 24 discrete variables on projectile points from sites identified as Blackfoot, Crow, Shoshoni or Kutenai. It is concluded that ethnic affiliation has produced quantifiable variability that can be used to discriminate between assemblages.
