Haskett: What Is It, When Is It, Where Is It?

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.

Haskett projectile points were first defined in Idaho by Robert Butler in 1965 and have since figured variously into discussions of non-fluted lanceolate technology from the terminal Pleistocene. As one of a series of similar styles known by other names found along the western cordillera of the Americas—e.g., Sluiceway, Mesa, Agate Basin, El Jobo—an updated context is needed. In this paper, we use new data to describe the most distinguishing technological, temporal, and geographic characteristics of Haskett. Our aim is to better situate Haskett within the broader conversation about the origin and spread of stemmed point technology throughout the continental interior.
