Evidence of Paleo indians in the Highlands and Lowlands of Arkansas
A new Upper Paleolithic occupation at the site of Tolbor-21 (Mongolia): Site formation, human behavior and implications for the regional sequence
Populations dynamics in Northern Eurasian forests: A long-term perspective from Northeast Asia
The open-air site of Tolbor 16 (Northern Mongolia): Preliminary results and perspectives
Investigating Neolithization of Cultural Landscapes in East Asia: The Neomap Project
Sacred landscapes of the southern Brazilian highlands: Understanding southern proto-Jê mound and enclosure complexes
A Paleolithic Cache at Tolbor (Northern Mongolia)
This study presents analyses of a unique assemblage of lithic artifacts, 57 large flakes, discovered in the Ikh Tulberiin Gol River valley of Northern Mongolia. The assemblage represents the first Paleolithic cache ever discovered in Mongolia and is an isolated find, not directly associated with a habitation or logistic activity site. Results of use-wear analysis suggest most of the flakes were unused, with only a few minimally used for processin…
Monumental burials and memorial feasting: An example from the southern Brazilian highlands
What happened at the sites of prehistoric burial mounds after they were erected? In the southern highlands of Brazil and Argentina the pre-Hispanic mounds of the twelfth-thirteenth centuries AD are surrounded by large circular enclosures with avenues leading to their centre. The authors discovered that the banks of the surrounding enclosure were built up over several generations of time, accompanied by a succession of ovens. Ethnohistoric observa…
Paleoindian Interaction and Mating Networks: Reply to Moore and Moseley
How early human populations in North America maintained reproductive viability is a question that has shaped our research for over a decade. The concept of staging areas, mechanisms for band-macroband interaction, and an examination of how interaction networks could have formed and evolved over the course of the Paleoindian era are all solutions that we have presented
Paleoindian Colonization of the Americas: Implications from an Examination of Physiography, Demography, and Artifact Distribution
GIS-based, least-cost analyses employing continental scale elevation data, coupled with information on the late glacial location of ice sheets and pluvial lakes, suggest possible movement corridors used by initial human populations in colonizing the New World. These routes, demographic evidence, and the location of Paleoindian archaeological assemblages, support the possibility of a rapid spread and diversification of founding populations. Initia…
A View of Paleoindian Settlement From Crowley’s Ridge
Examination ofPaleoindian site distributions in the lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley of northeastern Arkansas reveals distinct patterns in the settlement organization of fluted point and Dalton populations within the region. In particular, the relationship of fluted point sites to locally available lithic raw materials is significant. These sites represent a founding population that quickly adapted to the rich environments of the lowlands adjace…
