This collection was donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1880 by Governor Nehemiah Green (1837-1890). The artifacts are likely from a site called 14RY33 as the donation records state they are from the Green site and 14RY33 was on property once owned by Governor Green. The small collection includes two vessel rims, two body sherds, and a large piece of daub (clay typically used to coat a structure which retains impressions of surrounding material). A single groundstone abrader, used for smoothing softer material, two scrapers and a knife or biface were also donated. Finally, seven projectile points, ranging in style from large dart points to a small notched arrow point were included. This collection reveals a site that was occupied periodically from the late Archaic to the Middle Ceramic periods. It may have had at least one structure and activities included cooking, hide processing and hunting.
