The Late Paleoindian Cody Complex Component at Lamb Spring, Colorado (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward Knell.

The Late Paleoindian Cody complex component at Lamb Spring, Colorado was recently reanalyzed. While best known for its possible association with Late Pleistocene fauna, the Lamb Spring Cody component with its nearly 2,000 bison bones, seven Eden projectile points, Cody knife fragment, and two flakes has largely been overlooked and incompletely described in the literature (excepting McCartney’s study of the bison bones). To remedy the situation I: (1) use prior publications, reports and the...

Late Pleistocene Aggregation Sites on the Peruvian North Coast: A New Look at Paiján Settlement (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Greg Maggard. Kary Stackelbeck.

Although specific examples are rare, the concept of seasonal or periodic group aggregation is often employed by studies of early foragers in the Americas as a functional process to explain the formation of social networks, information exchange, group ritual, exogamy, and the long-distance movement of materials. In spite of frequent use when modeling mobility and settlement, the material, spatial, and social characteristics of aggregation sites remain poorly understood. Here, we provide two...

Laying the Groundwork: A Preliminary Analysis of Manos from the Basketmaker Communities Project (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anna Dempsey. Leigh A. R. Cominiello.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The data potential of grinding tools has been neglected by archaeologists since the beginning of research in the American Southwest. The study of ground stone provides an excellent opportunity to examine important aspects of life in the Pueblo past, including food production and gender, and therefore should not be overlooked. This paper uses methodology...

Le Volgu: A North American Perspective on a Biface Cache from the French Upper Paleolithic (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Kilby.

Le Volgu consists of at least 15 exquisitely manufactured bifacial stone tools (17 were originally reported in 1874) found in Saône-et-Loire near the confluence of the Arroux and Loire Rivers, about 60 km (37 miles) west of Le Solutre, the type site for the Solutrean culture. The assemblage is interpreted as an artifact cache or ritual deposit and the artifacts themselves are considered exemplary of Solutrean bifacial technology. This paper reports the results of applying methods developed for...

Learning to Knap: Apprenticeship Systems in the Early Woodland (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin Kolb.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Tools are frequently conceived of as finished products rather than processes in and of themselves. Studying stone tool production allows for greater insight into pre-historic social systems, particularly that of apprenticeship, due to the development of criteria for detecting skill through lithic analysis. This project looks at Herrick Hollow I, a lithic...

Levallois, Learning, and Lithic Variation: Results from Porcelain Flintknapping Experiments (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Ranhorn. David R. Braun. Francys Subiaul. Alison Brooks.

The ability to transmit cultural information with high-fidelity across generations is a defining trait of modern humans. It is unclear, however, how and when this adaptation emerged in the human lineage. The earliest forms of human technology—stone artifacts—required knappers to understand raw material mechanics, as well as geometry (volume reduction, angles), and physics. Thus, it is often assumed that the spread of lithic technologies involved some degree of information transmission. However,...

Leveraging DNA Capabilities for Lithic Analysis: Experimental Results and Best Practices (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bethany Potter. Caroline Kisielinski. Justin Tackney. Dennis O'Rourke. Frederic Sellet.

This is an abstract from the "Old Technology, New Methodology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper outlines the results of a multipart experiment in obtaining DNA deposited on lithics to address questions regarding localized resource use. Previous publications hypothesize that DNA molecules can be preserved in microcracks in lithics and suggest that questions regarding resource exploitation can be addressed with lithics. The goal of this...

Leveraging Longitudinal Data for Lithic Technological Organization Research (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alberto Conti. Tessa Amend. Jake Fruhlinger. Erick Robinson.

This is an abstract from the "Old Technology, New Methodology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lithic technological organization research depends on multiscalar perspectives connecting macroscales of land use and raw material economics to microscales of individual sites. Surface sites comprise a major source of data in many lithic technological organization studies. These sites are often recorded one time and rarely monitored. This can lead to...
