Two Newly Recognized Paleoindian Tool Types
A small collection of gravers from the Fisher site, an Early Paleoindian (Parkhill complex) site in Ontario estimated to date between 10,400 and 11,000 years B.P., produced two previously unrecognized tool types: single- and double-scribe compass and coring gravers. Experimental use-wear studies on replicated tools confirm that the compass and coring gravers were probably used on organic materials for engraving single or concentric circles, cutti…
A correlation of tooth wear and age among modern Igloolik Eskimos
The level of molar wear can be estimated reliably by measuring the cusp height. A correlation between age and the level of molar wear, expressed by a normalizing index (TWI) of cusp height, was found to exist in a sample of modern Igloolik Northwest Territories Eskimos. Not only was it possible to derive linear regression models to test the degree of correlation in the sample of 46 female and 39 male maxillary casts of Igloolik Eskimos, but the m…
Stone Tools, Toolkits, and Human Behavior in Prehistory [and Comments and Reply]
Stone artefacts are usually privileged witnesses, and often the sole preserved witnesses, of prehistoric man and his activities. The study of artefacts is ordinarily restricted to typology, i.e., description, classification, and comparison of these artefacts clustered into assemblages with a view to defining industries and, hence, prehistoric cultures. This approach is somewhat limited, as it registers differences or resemblances between the asse…

Quantifying Continuous Lesions and Fractures on Long Bones
A system of recording has been designed to facilitate the comparison and quantification of features observed on extremity long bones from archaeological faunal assemblages. The system, which is based on vertical and polar coordinates, generates locationally accurate, repeatable, computerizable and statistically analyzable data. It is currently being employed in the analysis of Bronze Age and Iron Age mammalian material from the Fengate site, Engl…
