Current Perspectives on the Western Stemmed Tradition-Clovis Debate in the Far West
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Current Perspectives on the Western Stemmed Tradition-Clovis Debate in the Far West," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) artifacts, not Clovis, dominate the Paleoindian record in the Intermountain West. As such, this symposium aims to: (1) provide an overview of WST chronology, technological organization, and subsistence; (2) assess the relationship between WST and Clovis; and (3) place this evidence within the broader context of the peopling of the Americas. Papers will highlight the most recent research in WST and fluted point studies throughout the Intermountain West, with a focus on chronology, morphology, and distribution. In order to create dialogue and research exposure across geographical space, speakers include both WST and Clovis researchers.
