Reassessment of the Lithic Assemblage from Layer 6 of Mugharet el’Aliya, Morocco: Site Use and Mobility Patterns During the Middle Stone Age
Current Understanding of the Earliest Human Occupations in the Americas: Evaluation of Becerra-Valdivia and Higham (2020)
Various chronologies of the earliest Native American occupations have been proposed with varying levels of empirical support and conceptual rigor, yet none is widely accepted. A recent survey of pre-Clovis dated sites (Becerra-Valdivia and Higham 2020) concludes a pre-Last Glacial Maximum (>26,500–19,000 cal yr BP) entry of humans in the Americas, in part based on recent work at Chiquihuite Cave, Mexico. We evaluate the evidence used to develop t…
Clovis Stone Tools from El Fin del Mundo, Sonora, Mexico: Site Use and Associations between Localities
El Fin del Mundo is an archaeological site in Sonora, northwest Mexico, that contains a buried Clovis megafauna kill in a lowland area and concentrations of Clovis and later lithic materials scattered on the deflated surface of the surrounding uplands. The Clovis lithic assemblage from the site, identified by its technological and typological features, has been classified into three modes: bifaces, unifaces, and blades. The kill locality only con…
Evaluating Claims of Early Human Occupation at Chiquihuite Cave, Mexico
Archaeologists working in Mexico recently claimed evidence for pre-Last Glacial Maximum human occupation in the Americas, based on lithic items excavated from Chiquihuite Cave, Zacatecas. Although they provide extensive array of ancillary studies of the cave's chronostratigraphic and paleoenvironmental record, the data they present do not support their central argument, that these lithic items are anthropogenic and represent a unique lithic indus…
The Clovis Lithic Assemblage from El Fin del Mundo, Sonora, Mexico: Evidence of Upland Campsite Localities
El Fin del Mundo is a Clovis site located in the Sonoran Desert of northwest Mexico. The site has produced one of the largest assemblages of diagnostic Clovis stone tools south of the US-Mexico border. The Clovis lithic assemblage includes bifaces, unifaces, and blades. The artifact classes, tool types, and their contexts are indicative of a Clovis camp or camps where domestic tasks took place on the stable uplands surrounding a gomphothere (prob…
Human (Clovis)–gomphothere ( Cuvieronius sp.) association ∼13,390 calibrated yBP in Sonora, Mexico
Significance Archaeological evidence from Sonora, Mexico, indicates that the earliest widespread and recognizable group of hunter-gatherers (“Clovis”) were in place ∼13,390 y ago in southwestern North America. This is the earliest well-documented population on the continent and suggests that the unique Clovis artifact style originated in the southwest or south central part of the continent, well south of the Arctic gateways into the continent. Th…
