By: Leslie, Vernon.

Abstract
This is a descriptive listing of the various elements comprising Minsi material culture, that the author feels will be of value and interest to the amateur as well as a professional archaeologist digging in the Minsi area. The author believes that by using these listings the archaeologist could get as tentative idea of which artifacts could be assigned to the Minsi horizon and which to an earlier time period. Prior to the above artifact description, the author discusses the concept of the Minsi culture horizon, as derived form his own fieldwork and the works of other authors.
