New radiocarbon dates for the Greenbrier site, a sixteenth century town on the White River, Independence County, Arkansas
This article describes preliminary results of ongoing research at the Greenbrier site (3IN1), a late Mississippian town site now located on privately owned land in the Middle White River Valley in Independence County, Arkansas. In 1999 and 2000 the Arkansas Archeological Society and Arkansas Archeological Survey excavated part of a roughly 9-m 2 burned structure (House 1) initially interpreted as a dwelling. Ceramic sherds from this house and fou…
Current Understanding of the Earliest Human Occupations in the Americas
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…

Pioneers from Northern Japan in Idaho 16,000 Years Ago? A Critical Evaluation of the Evidence from Cooper’s Ferry
Davis et al. (2019) recently presented the results of excavations at the Cooper’s Ferry site, located beside the Salmon River in Idaho. They claim that initial occupation of this site dates from ∼16,000 calendar years ago, that the first inhabitants came from northern Japan, and that this site conclusively demonstrates that “humans initially migrated into the Americas along the Pacific coast.” Here, we critically examine the chronological, geoarc…
Exploring the Clovis-Gainey-Folsom Continuum
This chapter examines fluted point complexes in the Midwest from both a technological and morphological perspective. Similarities and differences between some fluted point varieties have been impressionistic at best and in some cases are based on premises that ignore morphological variation due to raw material constraints, resharpening, and repair. The goal of this chapter is to provide a critical analysis of the fluted point type designations th…
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…
Projectile? Knife? Perforator? Using actualistic experiments to build models for identifying microscopic usewear traces on Dalton points from the Brand site, Arkansas, North America
On Fluted Point Morphometrics, Cladistics, and the Origins of the Clovis Culture
Nine decades after the discovery of the Clovis type site, Blackwater Draw Locality No. 1, we are getting closer to solving the perplexing mystery of Clovis origins. Working together, geneticists and archeologists are closing in on the ancestral Northeast Asian and Beringian homelands. We can anticipate that future archaeology will fill in the details about the emergence of Clovis lithic technology, south of the ice sheets, from its Beringian prec…

ACROSS ATLANTIC ICE: THE ORIGIN OF AMERICA'S CLOVIS CULTURE, by Dennis J. Stanford, and Bruce A. Bradley Berkeley. University of California Press, 2012. ISBN-13: 9780520227835. 319 pp. (Hardback)
Early Paleoindian Mobility and Watercraft
Several researchers have suggested use of watercraft during the Early Paleoindian period 11,500 and 10,800 rcybp (13,400–12,700 cal B.P.), but none have brought empirical data to bear on this possibility. This paper addresses the potential for fluted point-making groups to have made and used boats circa 11,000 rcybp (13,000–12,800 cal B.P.). Fluted point data from a large region of the upper and central Mississippi River valley strongly suggest t…
Comment on “Clovis and Western Stemmed
Beck and Jones (2010) assert that Clovis “was not first in the Intermountain West”; Western Stemmed points are older than fluted points; and the stemmed point makers derived from a hypothetical pre-13,000 cal B.P. Pacific Coast migration. A less tendentious review of the data suggests instead that Western Stemmed follows Clovis in this region, as previously inferred by Willig and Aikens.
Pre-Clovis in Texas? A critical assessment of the “Buttermilk Creek Complex”
A Town at the Crossroads
Gradiometry survey at the Old Town Ridge (3CG41) site, a stockaded Middle Mississippian period town in the central Mississippi River Valley of Arkansas, demonstrates the efficacy of a broad-coverage, site-encompassing remote sensing methodology for initial interpretation of intrasite organization and complexity. Site access, time constraints, deep plow furrows, and cotton plant “stubble” associated with ongoing agriculture at the site defer the e…

Rummells-Maske Revisited
The Rummells-Maske site, 13CD15, is a fluted point cache discovered in 1964 by two amateur archaeologists. It is one of the few finished fluted point caches in North America. It was originally interpreted as a cache, but because the site was reported as a "findspot" in the original report title, it has not received the attention it deserved in Paleo indian literature. In this paper, we review the history of the discovery, describe the Rummells-Ma…
Geographic Variation in Fluted Projectile Points
This paper examines geographic variation in fluted point morphology across North and South America. Metric data on 449 North American points, 31 Central American points, and 61 South American points were entered into a database. Ratios calculated from these metric attributes are used to quantify aspects of point shape across the two continents. The results of this analysis indicate gradual, progressive changes in fluted point outline shape from t…
End Scraper Morphology and Use-Life
Kelly and Todd (1988) proposed that bifaces served as transported cores within the lithic technology of Early Paleoindian groups. This concept is evaluated here through an analysis of end scrapers from three sites. two located in west-central Illinois and one in eastern Missouri If transported bifacial cores served as the source for flake blanks used to make end scrapers, the morphology of these tools should change with increasing distance from r…
