A Simple Experiment Challenges the Inference that Macro-fractures on Chipped-stone Tools are Clear Evidence of High-Velocity Impacts
The paradigmatic assumption that prehistoric chipped stone points primarily functioned as hafted armatures of composite hunting weapons is often tested with replicates that are hafted as armatures. Thus, the tests are whether they make good armatures, not whether they were armatures. This precludes systematic inquiry into possible alternative functions and inferences for these tools. We find the evidence marshalled to prove armature use is often …
Onset of dune construction based on archaeological evidence, White Sands, New Mexico
The White Sands dune field is the largest gypsum dune system in the world, derived from deflation of paleo-Lake Otero deposits. Understanding the timing of initial dune construction, and therefore lake deflation, is critical for understanding regional landscape evolution, including the history of lake desiccation. The onset of dune construction is currently estimated at ~8000 to 6500 cal yr BP, but numerical age control is limited. Archaeological…
Evidence of humans in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum
Early footsteps in the Americas Despite a plethora of archaeological research over the past century, the timing of human migration into the Americas is still far from resolved. In a study of exposed outcrops of Lake Otero in White Sands National Park in New Mexico, Bennett et al . reveal numerous human footprints dating to about 23,000 to 21,000 years ago. These finds indicate the presence of humans in North America for approximately two millenni…
Pre-Clovis occupation 14,550 years ago at the Page-Ladson site, Florida, and the peopling of the Americas
Page-Ladson, Florida, provides evidence of the oldest human occupation in the North American Gulf Coastal Plain at 14,550 B.P.
