Sheriden Cave is a deeply buried, stratified, and radiocarbon dated (ca. 11,500 B.P.) late Pleistocene habitation site located in northwestern Wyandot County, Ohio, United States. Artifacts recovered from the cave include a side scraper manufactured from a bifacial thinning flake, a bifacial preform, chert debitage, a carved, incised, and beveled-based osseous point, and burned bone. Most of the toolstones are nonlocal cherts that outcrop between 140 and 400 km from the site. The artifact assemblage is distinctive of the Early Paleoindian, Clovis Cultural Complex of North America. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
