Late Paleoindian Archaeology at the Eaton Site, Western New York (2010)
This paper reports the discovery of late Paleoindian period points at the Eaton site, Erie County, NY. The authors describe three Holocombe style and three Hi-lo style points found in two discreet locations on the site. They briefly discuss how the discovery of these point styles at Eaton impacts arguments for increased localization of point style in the late Paleoindian period in the Great Lakes region.

In 1979, archaeological field school students recovered a small lead object from a 2 m x 2 m excavation unit at the Eaton Site.
