A Point of Order on Great Basin Projectile Typologies and Chronologies (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Hoskins.

Archaeological sites in the Desert West are primarily open-air lithic scatters lacking organic preservation. Often, the only way these sites can be dated is via typological cross-dating using projectile points. This method of dating assumes that morphological types represent discrete and uniform time periods across large geographic areas; these time periods are based on the ages of point types at a handful of well-dated sites. Although typological cross-dating remains common, research has shown...
