This is an abstract from the "Expedient Technological Behavior: Global Perspectives and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The study of toolstone procurement in Patagonia is biased in favor of high-quality exotic materials—chiefly obsidian—often transported over large distances as heavily curated artifacts. Lesser-quality sources however may be important in the technological behavior at smaller scales (e.g., basin, subregion). The...

This is an abstract from the "Expedient Technological Behavior: Global Perspectives and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Terminal Gravettian, first defined in Central Portugal, is a relative outlier concerning the exploitation of lithic raw materials during the Upper Paleolithic of southwest Europe, as especially shown by an intensive use of quartz. Although Terminal Gravettian assemblages often include the production of...

This is an abstract from the "Expedient Technological Behavior: Global Perspectives and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The role of expedient behaviors in the Upper Paleolithic has often been overshadowed by the study of more elaborate technologies to produce bladelets. This disparity in research focus is particularly evident in the Aurignacian context. Little discussion exists surrounding the use of cost-effective methods to...

Social learning by modern humans led to the repetition and persistence of stone tool forms we see in the recent archaeological record. The emergence of similar patterning in early hominin assemblages is often assumed to track the beginnings of social learning. Less clear is what was being socially transmitted during this early period. One possibility is that hominins learned how to make objects according to a shared ‘mental template’. A second possibility is that specific sequences were learned,...

This is an abstract from the "The Global “Impact” of Projectile Technologies: Updating Methods and Regional Overviews of the Invention and Transmission of the Spear-Thrower and the Bow and Arrow" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We present an analysis of the functional design of a collection of 353 projectile points from archaeological sites in the Puna de Atacama (21.9°–24.7° S) that belong to the cultural sequence dating from 12,500 to 2400 years...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Cuncaicha rockshelter, Carbun-Ruan, and Pampa Colorada are parts of an early inter-zonal settlement system located in southern Peru. Cuncaicha and Carbun-Ruan are multi-component highland rockshelters, with initial occupations dating respectively to the Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Early to Late Holocene sites at Pampa Colorada on the Pacific coast...

This is an abstract from the "*SE The New Normal: Approaches to Studying, Documenting, and Mitigating Climate Change Impacts to Archaeological Sites" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This poster presents the findings and analysis of artifacts from a 2 × 2 m excavation unit at site 16VN3416 in the Calcasieu Ranger District of Kisatchie National Forest. A large number of diagnostic lithic artifacts were recovered from this unit, spanning the millennia...

This is an abstract from the "Current Perspectives on the Western Stemmed Tradition-Clovis Debate in the Far West" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) studies in the Great Basin often emphasize results from cave or rockshelter sites; however, these sites present a very specific occupation type. Studying open-air sites provides a different line of evidence used to expand interpretations of WST lithic technology and...

This is an abstract from the "The Global “Impact” of Projectile Technologies: Updating Methods and Regional Overviews of the Invention and Transmission of the Spear-Thrower and the Bow and Arrow" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While paleogenetic studies indicate that the majority of the genomic heredity of indigenous peoples of the Americas can be traced to late Pleistocene human populations in far eastern Asia, we do not yet understand whether a...

First American archaeologists are increasingly interested in the relationship between Western stemmed point technology (WST) and other Paleoindian lithic technologies, including Clovis. While there is some evidence of WST dating as early as 14,000 14C years before present, most sites lack reliable geoarchaeological and geochronological evidence. In the late 1990s and early 2000s the University of Nevada Reno excavated several stratified open-air WST sites in Oregon along the southern shoreline...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Beringian record is critical to understanding human dispersals and adaptive behaviors of the earliest peoples in the Americas. Late Pleistocene and Holocene peoples subsisted on a dynamic and changing landscape that undoubtedly influenced technological organization, including toolstone procurement and selection patterns. The interior Alaskan record is...

This is an abstract from the "The Global “Impact” of Projectile Technologies: Updating Methods and Regional Overviews of the Invention and Transmission of the Spear-Thrower and the Bow and Arrow" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There is a large literature that discusses the prehistoric introduction of the bow and arrow into the various regions of North America. The dates of the introduction vary greatly. Erroneously, it is sometimes assumed that...
