Perdiz arrow points from Caddo burial contexts aid in defining discrete behavioral regions
Recent research into Caddo bottle and biface morphology yielded evidence for two distinct behavioral regions, across which material culture from Caddo burials expresses significant morphological differences. This study asks whether Perdiz arrow points differ across the same geography, which would extend the pattern of morphological differences to a third category of Caddo material culture. Perdiz arrow points were employed to test the hypothesis …
Shape as a function of time + raw material + burial context? An exploratory analysis of Perdiz arrow points from the ancestral Caddo area of the American Southeast
Temporal assignments carry substantive weight, and archaeologists regularly assume that artefacts from discrete temporal units may differ in ways that convey changes in preference or behaviour. Similarly, archaeologists regularly assume that raw material differences articulate with stone tool morphology, and the role of differential raw material quality and preference associated with Caddo lithic technology remains largely unexplored. Whether a p…
A quantitative assessment of intraspecific morphological variation in Gahagan bifaces from the southern Caddo area and central Texas
This investigation aggregates intact or reconstructed Gahagan bifaces from the southern Caddo area and central Texas to test the hypothesis that Gahagan biface morphology differs between the regions. The Gahagan bifaces (n=102) were scanned, then analyzed using a novel landmarking protocol and the tools of geometric morphometrics. Results provide a preview of the significant differences in Gahagan biface morphology expressed between the southern …
Lithic morphological organisation
This analysis of Gahagan biface morphology enlists the three largest samples of Gahagan bifaces, to include that of the type site (Gahagan Mound) as well as the Mounds Plantation and George C. Davis sites. Results indicate a significant difference in Gahagan biface morphology at the Mounds Plantation site when compared with Gahagan bifaces from the Gahagan Mound and George C. Davis sites. Tests for allometry and asymmetry were not significant. Th…
The Spreen Cache
Testing at the Spreen Site, 41RN108, in west-central Texas, located a cache of 31 thin bifaces, 6 scrapers 1 point/knife base, and 1 core. All were made from locally available gravels. Eighty percent of the implements were broken. The types of breakage suggest that many, although not all, failed during manufacture. The context of the tools, the occurrence of heat-spalled tools, wear on edges of broken implements, temporally distinct resharpening …
Prehistory of the Rustler Hills
The Northeastern Trans-Pecos region of Texas is an unforgiving environment for anyone living off the land, yet nomadic hunters and gatherers roamed its deserts and mountains and sheltered in caves and sinkholes from around AD 200 to 1450. This book provides detailed insights into the lifeways of these little-known prehistoric peoples. It places their occupation of the region in a wider temporal and cultural framework through a comprehensive descr…

Wear Traces and Projectile Impact
of fracture and wear types associated with archaeological and experimental stone chipped projectile points in prehistory
Oval Biface Celt Variability During the Maya Late Preclassic
Differences between oval biface assemblages from Colha and Santa Rita Corozal, Belize, relate to contrasting patterns of production and consumption between the two sites. Metric and technological data on complete and fragmentary oval bifaces and debitage are used to demonstrate the functional similarities and differences between the assemblages. Biface fracture patterns at Colha are dominated by breakage associated with manufacture, while biface …
Testing the Producer-Consumer Model for Santa Rita Corozal, Belize
The consumer aspect of stone-tool manufacture is an important factor for lithic studies concerned with craft specialization and exchange systems. The dynamic nature of stone-tool production/exchange/use systems can be understood through a technological analysis of producer site assemblages and a functional and technological examination of consumer sites. Chipped-stone assemblages from the producer site of Colhá, Belize, and the consumer site of S…
