Refit Table 2 (2017)
DATASET William Engelbrecht. Roderick Salisbury.

This data set describes Madison point refitted bifaces and contains two more columns than the original Point Refit Table. The distance column measures the distance between refits in meters. The Context column records whether the refit is internal (1) or external (2). Internal refits are those within a defined area (i.e. longhouse) or between associated area (i.e. longhouse and associated midden). Internal can also refer to a refit of two pieces from undefined areas.External refers to a refit...

Rethinking Palisades in the Northeast: Evidence from the Eaton Site (2012)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Piotr Poplawski. Joshua J. Kwoka. William Engelbrecht.

Eaton is a multicomponent site located in western New York. The major component consists of an Iroquoian village dating to the mid-sixteenth century. There is a high ratio of expedient lithic tools to debitage in the area of the palisade. We explore possible explanations for this distribution and discuss the implications for the construction and maintenance of a palisade.
