The Barnes Site: A Fluted Point Assemblage from the Great Lakes Region
A collection from a small Late Wisconsin site is described. This assemblage exhibits a distinctive coreworking technique and a distinctive variety of fluted points. It is dated on geological grounds to between 11,000 B.C. and 9000 B.C. at a time when spruce stands were probably becoming established in the area. The contrasts between this assemblage and others described from Northeastern North America suggest a number of hypotheses not testable wi…
The Lucy Site in Central New Mexico
The Lucy site in the Estancia Valley of central New Mexico promises to be an important locality for Early Man. Excavations were conducted there in the summer of 1954 as part of the University of New Mexico Field Sessions, directed by Frank C. Hibben. Much of the field work was done by Thomas B. Hughes and William B. Roosa, who acted as foreman. Other students who worked at the site are Erica Child, George Hopkins, Charles McNutt, Stewart Peckham,…
Notes on the Third Interglacial Artifacts
The following is a discussion of Carter's (1952) third interglacial artifacts. Carter's conclusion that he has found third interglacial artifacts is based on two hypotheses: 1. The objects found are artifacts; 2. The layer in which they were found dates from the third interglacial. These comments are limited to a brief discussion of the first hypothesis. The pictures and descriptions furnish no concrete proof that the finds are artifacts, althoug…
