  • A Flaked Stone Crescent from a Stratified, Radiocarbon-Dated Site in the Northern Great Basin

    Open AccessGeoffrey M Smith, Donald D Pattee et al.ARTICLENorth American Archaeologist2014Cited by: 12References: 7

    Seven sites in the Far West have produced crescents in dated contexts: of these, only two are in the Great Basin. Single dates from both Great Basin sites—the Sunshine Locality and Fort Rock Cave—suggest that crescents date to the terminal Pleistocene. Crescents from dated contexts in California suggest that they were also used during the early Holocene. We report the discovery of a crescent from a stratified, radiocarbon-dated rockshelter in sou…

  • The Cross Creek Site (CA-SLO-1797) and Its Implications for New World Colonization

    Open AccessT L Jones, Richard T Fitzgerald et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2002Cited by: 29References: 38

    Recent excavations at the Cross Creek site (CA-SLO-1797) on the central coast of California revealed a stratigraphically discrete midden component dating between ca. 8350 and 7700 cal B.C., making it the oldest mainland shell midden on the west coast of North America. A large recovery volume revealed an assemblage dominated by grinding implements (handstones and milling slabs) and crude core and flake tools typical of California's Milling Stone h…

  • Mckean Lithic Technology at Lightning Spring

    Jame D Keyser, John L Fagan et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1993Cited by: 1References: 1

    During the 1980 excavation of the Lightning Spring site in the North Cave Hills of South Dakota, a group of Tongue River silicified sediment bifaces was discovered in one of the deeper McKean levels of the site. In addition to these bifaces, a large suite of Duncan projectile points was recovered from the four McKean occupations. The seven bifaces provide significant insight into the McKean phase lithic technological system used in this area of t…

    James D Keyser, John L Fagan et al.ARTICLEPlains Anthropologist1987Cited by: 2References: 1

    Archaeological work at the .East Short Pines (ESP) site in Harding County, South Dakota, is the first intensive effort to study procurement and processing operations for Tongue River Silicified Sediment (TASS). Investigations at the site show a source area of TASS and an associated workshop with large quantities of lithic debris and numerous firepits. Analysis of debitage, rejected quarry blanks, hammerstones, and pits used for annealing raw TASS…

  • Fluting the Lindenmeier Folsom

    K Akerman, John L Fagan et al.ARTICLELithic Technology1986Cited by: 5References: 1

    A simple fluting technique is presented in this paper which improves the success rate for the experimental production of fluted points. Fifty Folsom points were fluted by indirect percussion with the aid of wooden and antler stabilizing tabs resulting in an 84% success rate, a marked improvement over Flenniken's previous experiments replicating Lindenmeier Folsom points. Such results achieved by moderately experienced knappers suggest that more e…

  • A Supposed Fluted Point from Fort Rock Cave, an Error of Identification, and Its Consequences

    Open AccessJohn L Fagan, John FaganARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1975Cited by: 1

    The erroneous identification of a fluted projectile point associated with the earliest radiocarbon date at Fort Rock Cave is noted. Contrary to what has been stated in the literature, no fluted or Folsom-like projectile points have been found associated with early radiocarbon dates at Fort Rock Cave
