Late Paleoindian Plano-like Finds in Virginia and Beyond

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Late Pleistocene Stemmed Points across North America: Continental Questions and Regional Concerns" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Late Paleoindian Plano or Plano-like finds are not well understood in eastern North America. When documented, the distribution or age of these point types are not as well mapped as their western counterparts. In this paper, we include some known ranges of Plano-like finds in Virginia and portions of the Middle Atlantic Region. Using our own data from southwestern Virginia we offer some insights into the variation in Plano forms, the age of some Plano deposits, and the geographic setting of these Late Paleoindian sites that may be useful in other regional comparisons.
