The oldest house in the Southeast? Identifying a probable Clovis domestic structure at the Topper site, South Carolina
Topper Site Revisited
Topper is one of the largest buried Clovis sites in North America. The decades of archaeological excavations and analyses of Topper assemblages have informed our understanding of Clovis technology, mobility, settlement, and, more recently, chronology in the American Southeast. In this paper, we use spatial analysis to explore intra-site variation at Topper. We find that distance and elevation from the outcrop influenced the organization of core a…
A Hypothesis for the Use of Cryptocrystalline Raw Materials Among Paleoindian Groups of North America
The widespread existence of distinctive Paleoindian chipped stone technologies has been recognized in North American archaeology for decades. Great attention has been paid to the striking homogeneity of tool forms within these technologies over time and space and the high standards of craftsmanship involved in the production of the characteristic bifacial and unifacial tools. The idea of widespread geographic movement among Paleoindian population…
Early Human Life on the Southeastern Coastal Plain
This book is a compilation of several major archaeological research projects ranging from Pre-Clovis through Early Archaic manifestations covering the Coastal Plain of the Southeastern United States
Harney Flats
Multiple lines of evidence for possible Human population decline/settlement reorganization during the early Younger Dryas
Archaeology of the Pleistocene–holocene Transition in Eastern North America
The Pleistocene—Holocene Transition in the Eastern United States
Robert Lloyd Stephenson 1919-1992
Prior to his retirement in 1984, he had been the director of the SCIAA and state archaeologist of South Carolina
Tool Kit Entropy and Bipolar Reduction
Bipolar flaking as a means of reducing lithic raw material is known to have occurred since the time of the Lower Palaeolithic. As a strategy for working small bits of raw material, it is probable that it has a variety of important selective contexts. Assemblages from northeastern United States Paleo-Indian sites are used to test the hypothesis that bipolar artifacts in these systems represent a method of extending the utility of a transported, hi…

Middle-Range Theory in Archaeology
The concept of middle-range theory, arising over three decades ago in sociology, is reviewed. The concept was proposed as an approach to theorizing, urging consolidation of high-order theories with low-order empirical studies. The critical elements in such hierarchies are theories of a middle-range of abstraction. However, most current conceptions of “middle-range theory” in archaeology are far more narrowly conceived. Derived primarily from Binf…
The Chronological Position of the Dalton Horizon in the Southeastern United States
The chronological placement of the Dalton horizon in the southeastern United States has traditionally been between 10,000 and 8,000 B.P. (8000-6000 B.C.). A review of previous dating approaches questions the basis for that assignment and casts serious doubts about the validity of alleged associations between Dalton remains and C-14 dates in caves and shelters. The significance of two Dalton-associated C-14 dates from the alluvial terrace of the R…
Research and Development in the Stone Age
The transition from Pleistocene to Archaic/Mesolithic is analyzed in broad ecological terms. The trend throughout most of the Pleistocene toward increasing technological diversity is linked to the expectable ecological tendency to increase resource reliability. The advent of culture enabled man to increase resource reliability by diversifying his resource base. Resources were largely of the K-selected type, economical to procure with simple techn…
Paleoecology at La Riera (Asturias, Spain) [and Comments and Reply]
Excavations were conducted at La Riera to test hypotheses concerning variability among Upper Paleolithic/Mesolithic artifact assemblages and to define and begin to explain changing hunter-gatherer adaptations to the coastal region at the end of the Wurm and the beginning of the Holocene. The 36 strata contain assemblages that can be assigned to Aurignacian(?), Solutrean, Magdalenian, Azilian, and Asturian culture-stratigraphic units. However, the…
Archaeology
Clients, Contracts, and Profits
The client-oriented approach to contract archaeology is a technical service rather than genuine scientific research. Such an approach fails to meet the requirements of the law, fails to satisfy the needs of archaeological science, and frequently fails to protect the client's interests. A client orientation encourages an excessive emphasis on profits from contract work. Profits not only exclude a balance of archaeological, client, and public inter…
The Status of Archaeological Research Design in Cultural Resource Management
The recent research activity of contract archaeology is reviewed from the perspective of research design and its essential features. Some of the difficulties currently encountered in contract research are attributed to vague notions of research design, lack of general models and methods in the science of archaeology, and ineffective research organizations. It is argued that American contract research offers an unprecedented opportunity to test th…
The Significance of the Dalton Adz in Northeast Arkansas
The woodworking adz is a fundamental tool of the Dalton culture in northeast Arkansas and dates between 8000 and 6000B.C. It appears to be as early as the earliest true adzes previously known, those found in the Lyngby culture of northern Europe and in sites of the early village farmers of the Near East. The Dalton adz strongly suggests technological adaptation to a developing hardwood forest which involves relatively permanent settlements and sa…
