A Technological Analysis of Projectile Points from a Burial, Amargosa Desert, Nevada
Salvage excavations of the Barnett Site, Nye County, Nevada, revealed burial pits, hearths, and midden dating to about 1950 B.P. Grave goods from one of the burials included five large obsidian Humboldt Basal Notch points and a bone tool. Analysis of these artifacts leads us to conclude that the points were manufactured shortly before their use as grave goods, specifically for that purpose, and most probably by a single person. The bone tool is m…
Pressure Blades and Total Cutting Edge
Pressure techniques were used to remove 83 blades from a preformed obsidian core weighing 820 grams, yielding 17.32 meters of acute cutting edge. The blades represented 91 percent of the original weight (2.1 centimeters of acute cutting edge per gram of original material), thus demonstrating the efficiency of the pressure-blade techniques for the production of acute cutting edges.
