  • Caprock Canyonlands Archeology

    Open AccessDouglas Prewitt, Dating At Lake et al.ARTICLEIndex of Texas Archaeology Open…1997Cited by: 1References: 7

    Archeological investigations at Lake Alan Henry, in Garza and Kent Counties, Texas, between 1987 and 1993 generated much archeological data relevant to interpreting late Holocene human activities. This review goes beyond the project boundary to synthesize the late prehistory and history of the Texas Panhandle Plains, with special emphasis on the north-south band of rugged canyons found along the Caprock Escarpment, herein defined as the Caprock C…

  • Agate Basin Technology

    Phillip H Shelley, George A Agogino et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1983

    An example of a serrate biface from the Agate Basin level of the Hell Gap site is examined from a technological and use-wear analytic perspective. Two possible explanations for marginal serration, to produce a "sawlike edge" or for platform isolation, are evaluated. Results of this evaluation suggest that platform isolation is a more plausible explanation in this case. This explanation may imply technological/cultural continuity between Folsom an…

  • The Alleged Diffusion of Hindu Divine Symbols into Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica

    Balaji Mundkur, B B Mundkür et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1978Cited by: 1

    Parallels between certain religous symbols in Hindu and Mesoamerican cultures have been drawn by three modern writers and adduced as evidence suggestive of trans-Pacific diffusion of Hindu influences dating to about the mid-1st millennium A.D. and later. The symbols concerned are those of the deities of the lunar asterisms and the planets-the naksatra and navagrahah series, respectively-of the Hindus as compared with the structural features and s…

  • Hell Gap

    Cynthia Irwin-Williams, Cynthia Irwin‐Williams et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1973Cited by: 58References: 1

    A resume of archaeological investigations in the Hell Gap Valley of southeastern Wyoming is presented. This research produced a detailed sequence of Plains PaleoIndian occupation of this section of the High Plains. from about 9000 to 5500 B.C. Identifiable complexes recognized include Goshen, Midland, Folsom, Agate Basin, Hell Gap, Alberta, Cody, and Frederick. Materials recovered represent camping activities rather than the better known game kil…

  • The Midland Complex

    Open AccessGeorge A Agogino, George AgoginoARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1969Cited by: 10References: 6

    The Midland point has the same general shape, size, and typological manufacture as the unfluted Folsom point and may represent a minor style variation within a single cultural complex. The Paleo-Indians who made both Midland (unfluted Folsom) and classical Folsom points occupy nearly identical time spans and have nearly identical associated tools. While individual sites have been found with all Midland and all Classic Folsom projectiles, many Fol…

  • A Comparison of Whole and Fragmentary Paleo-Indian Points From Blackwater Draw

    Shirley Smith, Shirley M Smith et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1966Cited by: 2

    An analysis of differential breakage in a sample of Clovis, Agate Bas in and Folsom points suggests that the Clovis form is the most resistant to breakage and the fluted Folsom type the most fragile

  • A Progress Report on a Pre-Ceramic Site at Rattlesnake Draw Eastern New Mexico

    Calvin Smith, CALVIN B SMITH et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1966Cited by: 4

    The Rattlesnake Draw site has produced both Paleo-Indian and Archaic artifacts in a concentrated area centering about a presently dry lake basin. In addition to the artifacts discovered, the investigators have found evidence of the construction of artificial wells during the archaic period. These wells are similar to those earlier discovered at Blackwater Draw, Locality One

  • Sandia Points at Clovis Type Site

  • A Survey Of Paleo-Indian Sites Along the Middle Rio Grande Drainage

    George A Agogino, George AgoginoARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1961References: 2

    Sandia Cave is so important to the Paleo-Indian picture that it dominates the “classic” hunting site complex in the middle Rio Grande. As a result there is a tendency to minimize the considerable variety of other “classic” hunting points that have been found in the region, expecially in the Estancia Valley where such pluvial lakes as Lake Estancia and the Galisteo Basin once existed.In addition 3 sites in the Rio Grande valley exhibit a different…

  • Central New Mexico Paleo-Indian Cultures

    Open AccessGeorge A Agogino, George Agogino et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1958Cited by: 2

    In the last decade the middle Rio Grande area of New Mexico has produced considerable cultural evidence which indicates the presence here of the paleo-Indian and related cultures. Finds of the classic hunting varieties are rare in the Rio Grande valley itself, although a scattering of Sandia, Clovis Fluted, and Folsom points has appeared. Far more common are sites of Cochiselike character, usually evidenced by deeply buried fire hearths, milling …
