Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Researchers commonly use X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to source lithic tools and their associated byproducts made on obsidian and fine-grained volcanic toolstone. The results of such studies can be used to reconstruct lithic conveyance patterns, which in turn can tell us about hunter-gatherer mobility, territoriality, and/or exchange. In this study, we report XRF data for the Cascade projectile points from the Connley Caves (35LK50) in central Oregon. The results provide new insights into early and middle Holocene lithic conveyance in the northern Great Basin.
