Comparing Clovis and Folsom fluting via scaling analysis
This study examines the fluting of two well‐known Late Pleistocene fluted point types in North America: Clovis and Folsom. Using scaling analyses, we assess the changing relationship between flute length and point length in a large sample of each type. Researchers use scaling to investigate the physical constraints of an object and determine how its dimensions change with size. We compare the strength and consistency of the scaling relationships …

Current Research from Center for the Study of the First Americans Scholars
The Center for the Study of the First Americans (CSFA) is a collaboration of researchers focused on studying the peopling of the Americas and training students in the theory and methods necessary to address research questions regarding who were the first peoples to enter and spread throughout the American continents, when did they first arrive in the Americas, and from where did they come. This volume of PaleoAmerica presents seven papers that hi…

Psychometric Analysis of Scores on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Audit) with a University Sample
This study explored the psychometric characteristics of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) on a sample of 414 university undergraduate students (M age = 19.07, SD = 0.95). Internal consistency (α = .83), external divergent validity, and internal structural validity were adequate; the 2-factor model provided the best fit to the data
Clovis Lifeways Set in Stone
Over the past century, researchers have found variation in fluted-point shape and size to be patterned in the Americas. Many of these patterns can be organized by geographical, ecological, and behavioral variables, and have helped formulate our current understanding of some of the earliest cultures to live in the Western Hemisphere. This paper reviews how researchers have assessed patterns in Clovis point morphological variability over the last t…
Early Archaic landscape use, cultural transmission, and aggregation in the lower Ohio River valley
In this paper, we use GIS and 2D geometric morphometrics to explore landscape use and social interaction among Kirk Cluster populations in the lower Ohio River valley. Using cultural transmission as a theoretical foundation, we develop models for identifying assemblages produced by macroband aggregations. We show that two distinct populations occupied northern Indiana and southwestern Kentucky. Intensively occupied sites in these areas are situat…
Evaluating the Fluted Points from Spring Lake, Texas
The Spring Lake Site (41HY160) in San Marcos, located along the Balcones Escarpment in central Texas, produced fluted points that appear diagnostic of Clovis technology as well as ice-age megafauna remains. Unfortunately, these materials were recovered in what appears to be mixed deposits within the lake itself. For over 40 years, researchers have hypothesized that the points represent Clovis technology and presence at the site. We use a two-dime…
Using 3D Models to Understand the Changing Role of Fluting in Paleoindian Point Technology from Clovis to Dalton
Fluting is a technological and morphological hallmark of some of the most iconic North American Paleoindian stone points. Through decades of detailed artifact analyses and replication experiments, archaeologists have spent considerable effort reconstructing how flute removals were achieved, and they have explored possible explanations of why fluting was such an important aspect of early point technologies. However, the end of fluting has been les…
Digital Communication and Hybrid Threats
La amenaza híbrida es un concepto que aparece en documentos oficiales y estrategias de seguridad de los estados. Tanto la UE como la OTAN han tomado medidas serias para contrarrestar la actividad relacionada con las amenazas híbridas. Este monográfico sobre comunicación digital y amenazas híbridas tiene como objetivo avanzar en la comprensión de cómo los actores de amenazas híbridas utilizan y pueden potencialmente explotar el entorno de la infor…

The Manufacture of Northern Fluted Points
Recent research has begun to shed light on the role the Northern Fluted Complex (NFC) played in the peopling of the Americas. Our understanding of NFC chronology and origins has increased with the discovery of new sites with buried and datable fluted-point components and digital means of morphological and technological continent-wide analyses. However, we have had few opportunities to observe examples of NFC points discarded early in the manufact…
Variation in Fluted-point Technology
The transmission of Clovis fluted-point technology, the earliest well-dated fluted point industry, is considered to have led to regional variants of point forms as a result of cultural drift and founder effects as Paleoindian groups dispersed throughout the Western Hemisphere and adapted to local ecological settings. The papers collected in this volume present recent research and perspectives of a group of archaeologists focusing on regional vari…
Discerning Dispersals along the Pacific and Interior Corridors
Recent discussions of human dispersals into the Americas have integrated available genomic data, locations and dates of archaeological sites, chronologies for initial biological viability of the Pacific coast and western Canadian ice-free corridors, and respective hypotheses to explain the initial peopling of the continents. Currently, these lines of evidence are incomplete given the lack of geographically and chronologically continuous data avai…
The Western Stemmed Tradition
We review some of the current problems and prospects in ongoing Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) studies and highlight recent discoveries at important sites in the Intermountain West. While the region has traditionally not been the focus of peopling of the Americas studies, it has received considerable attention in recent years due to the discovery of WST points and other artifacts in Clovis-aged deposits. Fieldwork at sites in Oregon, Idaho, Neva…

Archaeological Evidence for the Construction of Features at the Kovrizhka Site, Siberia, during the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition
We present new data from the Kovrizhka site, Irkutsk Oblast’, Russia, that suggest traditional construction activities in the eastern Siberian Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic. The stone feature, consisting of an interlocking system of vertical and horizontal slabs, appears to have been initially constructed by inhabitants of a cultural layer dating between 12,810 and 11,411 cal yr BP and refurbished by later occupants associated with a cultural …
Dry Creek Revisited
The multicomponent Dry Creek site, located in the Nenana Valley, central Alaska, is arguably one of the most important archaeological sites in Beringia. Original work in the 1970s identified two separate cultural layers, called Components 1 and 2, thought to date to the terminal Pleistocene and suggesting that the site was visited by Upper Paleolithic huntergatherers between about 13,000 and 12,000 calendar years before present (cal B.P.). The ol…

The Women's Suffrage Movement in Wales, 1866-1928, by Ryland Wallace
One of the most important recent trends in British women’s suffrage historiography has been the shift in focus from London to the areas outside the capital, including those that maintained a strong non-English identity, in order to obtain a clearer picture of the grass-roots campaign. This has enabled historians to recognise that, at the local level, the suffrage movement was often very different from the way in which its London leaders perceived…

Application of A Response Model for Mother-Daughter Agreement by Race
Cross-tabulations of paired responses can be analyzed from the standpoint of an item response model. In this analysis of mother-daughter dyads, each member of whom has responded separately to a series of items regarding teenage sexual behavior, we examine (1) whether black and white families differ with respect to a series of items regarding sex and birth control; (2) whether our assessment of such differences varies depending on which generation…
