  • Bifacial Flake-Core Reduction Strategies and Related Aspects of Early Paleoindian Lithic Technology

    Philip J WilkeCHAPTERFolsom Technology and Lifeways2021

    This chapter focuses on lines of evidence to develop a broader understanding of bifacial flakecore use and its implications in Folsom culture. One of these lines of evidence is the substantial body of inferences that emerge from experiments in lithic technology based on practical stoneworking. The core technology persisted down through the Archaic, and perhaps into the Late Prehistoric as well. While the core was being reduced to flake blanks it …

  • Aboriginal Timber-Built Deer Corral-Traps in Mineral County, Nevada

    Dani Nadel, Philip J Wilke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2020Cited by: 1References: 7

    Late prehistoric and early historic communal hunting sites along the southwestern mountainous margins of the Great Basin, United Sates, include timber-built corral-traps estimated to be only a few hundred years old. In most of these, no animal bones or direct evidence for the targeted species were found in the corrals. Our goals were to characterize and reconstruct past use of these sites, and we chose two distinct case studies, Anchorite Pass an…

  • The lower paleolithic landscape of 'Ayoun Qedim, al‐Jafr Basin, Jordan

    Open AccessJason A Rech, Leslie A Quintero et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2007Cited by: 6References: 4

    The 'Ayoun Qedim locality includes seven deflated Acheulian sites within and around a limestone box canyon, Juwit el Ghuweir, in the northern al‐Jafr Basin, Jordan. Survey of these sites identified dense scatters of Acheulian bifaces ( _ 1650) along with debris, cores, and reduction material from their production and maintenance. Although there is a clear Levallois component in the assemblages, reflecting a Late Acheulian occupation, strictly Mid…

  • From Flint Mine to Fan Scraper

    Leslie A Quintero, Philip J Wilke et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…2002

    Reported here is the discovery of an enormous industry for the production of cortical flake blanks in the el-Jafr Basin of southeastern Jordan. The industry is believed to have supplied the blanks for production of fan scrapers (tabular scrapers, cortical flake knives, etc.) perhaps as early as the Chalcolithic and during the Early Bronze Age. The 79 recorded sites include large quarries over 12 ha in area, and three trench mines. The sites also …

  • Evolution and Economic Significance of Naviform Core-and-Blade Technology in the Southern Levant

    Leslie A Quintero, Philip J WilkeARTICLEPaléorient1995Cited by: 44References: 20

    A review of Levantine prehistory from the Epipaleolithic through the Pottery Neolithic demonstrates that naviform core-and-blade technology developed as a specialized craft in the context of the flourishing Pre-Pottery Neolithic village economy. A technological analysis reveals that the craft permitted the systematic production of standardized blade blanks to meet the specific tool needs of the Neolithic communities. The demise of the technology …

  • Cairn Burials of the California Deserts

    Open AccessPhilip J WilkeARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1978Cited by: 2References: 2

    The Yuha cairn burial from southeastern California is said to be more than 21,000 years old, based on radiocarbon dates and a Th-230 date obtained on soil carbonate. The burial itself is undated. Several other cairn burials are known from the California deserts, and these are dated from 5000 B.P. to historic times. Until the Yuha burial itself is dated, one must consider that it may belong to this more recent pattern of disposal of the dead

    Open AccessPhilip J Wilke, R L Bettinger et al.ARTICLEAntiquity1972Cited by: 12References: 3

    In recent years research has been directed to looking for the origins of agriculture and to finding the causes of the transition from hunting and gathering to food production and the domestication of plants and animals. From these studies it has become apparent first, that the transition occurred several times and in several places in prehistory; secondly, that the mechanisms underlying the transition are quite complex; and thirdly that the trans…
