content: Listed under Arrow Manufacturing Tools as an Arrow Smoother by Fowler and Matley (1979) with the remarks: "A single smooth egg-shaped stone of a whitish chalky material, UNNM 14341, Southern Paiute, Southern Utah, is listed in the catalog (Powell, 1873) as a 'stone for smoothing bows and arrows." p. 66

content: “Southern Paiute, Southern Utah” is a distinction observed by Fowler and Matley (1979) when specific band identification was not possible. “Southern Paiute. Southern Utah refers in general to the bands that Powell encountered in southern Utah and the Arizona Strip (that portion of present-day Arizona north of the Grand Canyon), i.e., the Kaibab, Uinkarets, Unkakaniguts and Shivwits.” [see: Fowler and Matley (1979), p. 5-6]
