Introduction to Session with a Discussion of Measuring Stone Tool Diversity (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Defining and Measuring Diversity in Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. It has been thirty years since the publication of Quantifying Diversity in Archaeology and this edited volume has proven to be an important benchmark in archaeological diversity studies. We review the impact this volume has had on quantitative archaeological research across a number of subfields. We then provide three examples of our work...

Investigating a Late Holocene Subsistence Transition North of the Alaska Range: Compelling Results from Two Archaeological Sites (2017)
Geospatial analyses on dated sites across central Alaska suggest important subsistence changes occurred in the region between 4000-2000 years ago. A significant shift from a general foraging strategy to a targeted collecting strategy appears to have occurred during this time, and recent investigations at two archaeological sites dating to this period have begun to shed light on the timing and extent of this subsistence shift in a specific region of central Alaska.
Investigating a Projectile Point Typology for the Uncompahgre Plateau in West Central Colorado (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Uncompahgre Plateau has been utilized by humans for at least the last 10,000 year, based on dates from excavated sites in the region. Projectile point styles that have formally been defined and named from type sites throughout the Great Basin occur on the Plateau. However, many that have not been formally defined or named also occur on the Plateau....
Investigating Prehistoric Land Use History and Place Use Variability with Low Density Surface Scatters of Stone Artifacts in the Oglala National Grassland, Northwestern Nebraska (2018)
The USDA Forest Service National Grassland System consists of 20 individual native and restored prairie grasslands. While the scale of these areas allows landscape survey, this ‘sea of grass’ is a challenge for artifact and feature discovery due to vegetation cover, meaning archaeologists must use surface visibility created by erosion, deflation, and other natural and anthropogenic processes. Here we report on a collaborative student-training project between the Forest Service and the University...
Investigating the Cody Complex at the Capshaw site, a Late Paleoindian site in Texas (2018)
This paper presents the results of an investigation conducted at the Capshaw site, a lithic scatter site, located within the Southern High Plains region in the panhandle of Texas. The Southern High Plains region is well-known for its rich archaeological record of Paleoindian peoples, however the Cody period remains relatively poorly understood. The paper will first describe the history of the site from its discovery in 2013 through archaeological surveys with explorative field school excavations...
Investigating the Emergence of Ute Culture on the Uncompahgre Plateau, Colorado (2018)
The Numic Expansion (A.D. 900 to 1300) and other explanatory models that have been used to explain the distribution of Numic speakers across the American West often fall short of providing specific methods for identifying peoples, such as Ute, in the archaeological record. This paper expands on previous investigations of this Numic Expansion narrative through the detailed reanalysis of lithics from two excavated sites: Christmas Rockshelter (5DT2) and Shavano Spring (5MN40). I compare lithic...
Investigating the Morphological Variation of Endthinning Scars on Paleoindian Bifacial Projectile Point Morphologies Using Geometric Morphometrics (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Geometric Morphometrics in Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Endthinning, the removal of longitudinal flakes from the base of a biface, is a key diagnostic flaking characteristic of Clovis, Gainey, Folsom, Cumberland, and other Early and Middle Paleoindian biface and projectile point technologies. In the Late Paleoindian Dalton tradition in the eastern United States, endthinning occurs less consistently on...
Investigating the Spatial and Behavioral Factors that Influence Regional Lithic Assemblage Variability (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lithic scatters are commonly the most abundant site type recorded in regional archaeological surveys. Paradoxically, lithic scatters are widely considered typologically homogeneous and are typically classified as limited-activity sites. These practices have contributed to the view that lithic scatters are of limited research value in understanding the origins...

Investigations at the Sugar Potato Workshop Site: Repeated and Long-Term Exploitation of Burlington Chert from the Pinnacles Quarry in Central Missouri (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Sugar Potato site is located on an alluvial fan at the base of the Pinnacles, an eroded upland area that borders the Missouri River floodplain in central Missouri. The lower slopes of the ridges in this area contain residual deposits of high-quality Burlington chert, which were quarried for more than 2,000 years. Test excavations at the Sugar Potato site...

Is Fluting Exclusive to Paleoindians? A Comparison of Paleoindian and Archaic End-Thinning Techniques (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The idea that fluting is a uniquely Paleoindian technological marker for projectile points in the Americas has been considered a given ever since the original Folsom discovery in 1927. While it is true that fluted lanceolate points are reliably diagnostic artifacts of the Paleoindian period, stemmed points from the Archaic period also occasionally exhibit end...
