The Organization of Paleoindian Lithic Technology at the Potts Site
Several recent studies of northeastern Paleoindian material culture have focused explicitly on how their technological systems articulated with other aspects of their adaptation. Analyses of blank production and tool manufacture provide a basis for modelling Paleoindian technological organization at the site. Goodyear argues that Paleoindians solved the logistical problem by "the creation of portable technologies." The Paleoindian preference for …

Early Fluted-biface Variation in Glaciated Northeastern North America
Most researchers argue that archaeological evidence for the Clovis technological complex, although documented across most of unglaciated North America, is absent in the glaciated Northeast, suggesting that early Paleoindian populations in the latter region were descendent from early Native American peoples associated with Clovis technology. If so, what are the earliest fluted-biface forms in glaciated northeastern North America? To refine develop…
Coupling Lithic Sourcing With Least Cost Path Analysis to Model Paleoindian Pathways in Northeastern North America
Projections of Paleoindian range mobility in the late Pleistocene are typically inferred from straight-line distances between toolstone sources and sites where artifacts of these raw materials have been found. Often, however, these sourcing assessments are not based on geologic analysis, raising the issue of correct source ascription. If sites of similar age can be linked to a toolstone source through geologic study, and direct procurement of too…
Paleoindian Peoples and Landscapes of Northeastern North America
In recent decades, with new site discoveries and expanding data sets, archaeologists have increasingly embraced landscape perspectives in researching Paleoindian peoples of northeastern North America. Reflecting this trend, the collected papers in this thematic issue report new analyses that alternately focus on (1) landscapes and settlement, or (2) toolstone sourcing and seasonal range mobility. These landscape approaches permit the authors to m…
Paleoindian Landscapes in Southeastern and Central New York
In 1957 and 1969, William A. Ritchie published data on geographic distributions of Paleoindian sites and points in the New York region. Discrete clusters of fluted bifaces and Paleoindian sites were apparent, variously associated with proglacial lake plains, bedrock lithic sources and other late Pleistocene landscapes. Since 2009, as part of the New York Paleoindian Database Project (NYPID), New York State Museum (NYSM) researchers and colleagues…
Clovis Caches
Early Human Settlement of Northeastern North America
This paper summarizes current evidence for earliest human occupation of northeastern North America during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. We review evolution of the region's landscapes and evidence of archaeological chronologies as context for understanding human settlement of the region. Current data support limited evidence for pre-Clovis occupation south of the Laurentide glacial margin, followed by a significant temporal gap prior to…

A noter qu'une forte concentration de mica y a ete retrouvee ainsi que des restes botaniques, fauniques, des amas coquilliers accompagnant la sepulture secondaire de deux individus amerindiens (Fort Ancient): ces incinerations remaniees avec grande fragmentation des restes osseux restants suggerent une ritualisat…
Holocene colluvial soils and geoarchaeology in the unglaciated Appalachian Plateau
Buried and sometimes stratified prehistoric sites occur in upland landscapes of the Unglaciated Appalachian Plateau province, although archaeologists have traditionally believed that such settings contain only near surface cultural deposits. The age of colluvial slopes and the characteristics of associated soils vary considerably from north to south within the province, and with the size and order of the valley. We have identified numerous prehis…
