Lithic Technological Organization at 8JE1796: A Perspective from Apalachee Bay, Florida

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Liquid Landscapes: Recent Developments in Submerged Landscape Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Lithic technological organization (LTO) approaches are used to understand how stone tool making societies provision themselves with regards to raw material in a given environment. How societies provision themselves provides insight into their adaptive strategies for a landscape. 8JE1796, Clint’s Scallop Hole, is a quarry located ~8 km offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and is part of a broader inundated landscape containing short-term campsites, quarries, and basecamps. The site was inundated by ~5000 cal BP, providing a useful time constraint on access to the site. This poster will show results from a full LTO analysis of the 8JE1796 lithic assemblage and compare these data with other sites in Apalachee Bay to better understand indigenous use of this landscape through prehistory.
